Case study: A Camden restaurant serving food during the day, and transforms into a Bar
In Camden, Polysmiths transformed a derelict commercial space into a hospitality space blending restaurant, bar, nightclub, and café. At The Camden, we worked with the Client to develop a robust, multi-functional space — from the timber-clad floor and custom banquettes, to installation of LED wall and bespoke lighting scheme.
Our work spanned spatial planning, interior design, site project management and custom-designed fixtures.
