Apricity



Conscious cooking in Mayfair
 

Summary

Chantelle Nicholson’s first solo restaurant and a chance to take her acclaimed sustainable-led approach to a new level.

Story

Working in conjunction with Chantelle and Grosvenor, we developed a true benchmark in sustainable design and fitout by applying the principles of a circular economy. Crucially, we also measured the embodied carbon footprint for the design, which achieved a 41% reduction compared to a typical fitout of this nature.

Details

We reused as much of the previous retail fitout as possible including reworking the old timber staircase into beautiful wall cladding; saving the architraves and using them as the frontage of the bar; sourcing pendant lamps made from recycled oyster shells and coffee grounds; working with the social enterprise Goldfinger to make the bespoke chef’s table.

Kind words from our clients

“In OSP I found a design partner, and collaborator, that completely aligned with my vision for Apricity. Their framework and ethos mention restorative, this synergises with my ethos of regeneration, and all adds up to the same quest – to challenge ourselves on what sustainability means, in practice, and bring the holistic principles of a circular economy into everything we do.”
