About FOODSMITH - FireWood Oven & Grill Concepcion Interiora de Restaurant

FoodSmith es un restaurant amb forn a lenha e grasilha situat a Amman, en Jordania. L'interior s'espandís sus 150 mètres carrats al ret de chaussada, mentre que la cosina e las zonas de servici ocupan 70 mètres carrats a l'estatge. La concepcion evòca un ancian obrador de fabre-ferrièr e es bastida gaireben entièrament amb materials recuperats e reciclats, incluses de fusta, de tubs de coire e de teulas de brica de ciment. Cada planca, cada tub e cada brica foguèt planificat amb de detalhats plans de construccion. Lo resultat sembla informal, pr'aquò cada element es acuradament arrengat.

Unique Properties
An Old Blacksmith's Workshop, abandoned and turned down by time, only to be given birth again many years later as a FireWood Oven and grill restaurant.

Built Almost entirely from reclaimed materials, FoodSmith restaurant in TajMall - Amman reflects what can be achieved when given the freedom to design without much client intervention.

For this project, we've designed everything from Concept, to interior and Brand.
Dimensions & Packaging
Restaurant is 150sqm on the Ground Floor, with the Kitchen and services upstairs covering 70 sqm.

Production Technology
Mostly Reclaimed Materials: Lumber wood, Coper pipes, cement bricks, etc...
Design Challenge
The challenge here was to reincarnate all the reclaimed material to produce something not only functional, but pleasing and enticing as well.
Research
Recycled and reclaimed materials that were gathered were namely: Copper piping, cement brick tiles, and lots and lots of reclaimed wood in different shapes and sizes. The concepts were then designed as clusters by the Architect and computer visualization software was used to visualize the ideas and provide a step-by-step building reference for the builders on site.

Though the final design seems orderly chaotic in nature, every brick, plank and pipe was carefully orchestrated and manifested through detailed construction drawings.
Inspiration
Wanted to go as "green" as possible in this project by creating the main design elements from reclaimed and recycled materials.
Project Duration
Project Concept Design Started in January 2014 and Finished Site was handed over in July 2014
Operation Flow
People are constantly struck by the ambiance and cannot believe that this restaurant decor was made almost entirely from waste products and reclaimed materials. Needless to say, the photos don't do the place enough Justice.
