At SSV, we believe that all gathering spaces benefit from a holistic approach to design for all the senses. Recently, we applied our critical listening and musical acoustics skills to the development of a new restaurant dedicated to music and enhancing patrons’ experiences.

SSV was brought on board by Spiritland to assist with the refurbishment and fit-out of its elegant new restaurant located within the Royal Festival Hall in London’s Southbank Centre. Spiritland described their vision as a “dining room of sonic architecture,” Spiritland Royal Festival Hall tasked SSV with specifying and recommending finishes, materials, enhancements and corrections sympathetic with the company’s ethos and design. These included sound absorbing curtains and an array of ceiling-hung baffles, sound-absorbing spray applied across the restaurant’s ceiling, perforated timber panelling, and ceiling tiles and wall panels incorporated in the kitchen.

“We’ve endeavoured to create a space that combines a sense of intimacy with its own unique acoustic signature.” Patrick Clayton-Malone, Spiritland Creative Director
