Home / Case Studies / Beehive Thorner
When award-winning chef Matt Healy chose The Beehive in Thorner as his third planned eatery in Leeds. The brief to the designers was to create a distinctive gastropub look and feel within this beautiful old village inn, promoting a warm, welcoming yet contemporary environment to compliment his unique dining experience, serving pub classics with a signature modern twist. Always wanting to make an entrance, a chevron timber floor acts as a travellator pulling you in down a decorated corridor adorned by famed local artist Nicolas Dixon, towards more muted floor and wall finishes encourage a calm and relaxed atmosphere when dining, still with carefully poised injections of colour providing focus and interest, including Matt's own established teal brand colour. Careful consideration has been given to materials and textures, with selected hand finishes in the bar area promoting individuality and effect.
Leathers used were Apache and a specially commissioned Teal colour
