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.
