Sef Steakhouse
Premium Fit-Out in Cheltenham
Sef Steakhouse is a high-end restaurant fit-out project designed by Port Architects- an overseas architect, combining contemporary elegance with a refined dining experience. The design integrates warm lighting, premium materials, and a carefully curated spatial arrangement to enhance both aesthetics and functionality.
Project Scope & Role
Our role in the project focused on Stage 4 development and pre-construction consultation, providing critical input on technical, regulatory, and construction feasibility aspects. As this is a fit-out project, our consultation ensured that the design intent was preserved while aligning with UK Building Regulations and practical execution considerations.
Key Contributions:
UK Building Regulations Compliance: Provided guidance on fire safety, accessibility, ventilation, and energy efficiency to ensure the fit-out met statutory requirements.
Technical Coordination: Advised on MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) integration within the existing building constraints.
Material & Detailing Consultation: Assisted in refining finishes, furniture, and lighting details to maintain quality and durability within a hospitality setting.
Construction Feasibility: Evaluated buildability aspects, including structural adaptations, service routing, and installation sequencing.
Design Features & Highlights
Interior Concept: A modern, high-end dining space with a sophisticated material palette, including wood, metal, and stone finishes.
Lighting Strategy: Carefully designed ambient and feature lighting to enhance the restaurant’s atmosphere.
Functional Layout: Optimized seating arrangements, bar design, and service areas to maximize both guest experience and operational efficiency.
With a clear alignment between design aspirations, technical feasibility, and regulatory compliance, the project is set to proceed smoothly into the construction phase.
