New Curtain Walling Project for a Luxury Restaurant in Central London

Luxurious urban restaurants are the perfect environment for high-end glazing solutions to come into their own. Bacchanalia Restaurant in central London is a case in point – a stunning eating establishment with opulent interiors and an equally eye-catching floor-to-ceiling glass walling system that makes a striking impression on guests and passers-by alike. In 2022, the Advanced Glass team had the pleasure of delivering and installing a premium glazing system at Bacchanalia, as part of a major refurbishment undertaken by main contractor Brown and Caroll (London) Ltd. Read on to find out more.

About the project and customer

Our customer Brown and Caroll is synonymous with many of the stylish renovations and refits carried out at some of London’s most elegant historical and modern buildings. Projects include work on the Bloomberg Headquarters and other contemporary corporate buildings in the City, the art deco Worshipful Company of Leathersellers, and the decadent Edwardian interiors of Annabel’s Private Members Club in Berkeley Square. So we were delighted to be asked to take part in the refurbishment they were undertaking at Bacchanalia in Mount Street, London. Bacchanalia is a contemporary Greek and Italian restaurant known as much for its grandeur and jaw-dropping architecture as it is for its fine food and wine. The project was due for completion by September 2022. Our role was to deliver a bespoke premium glazing system that enhanced both the visual appeal and functionality of the space.

The challenge

The restaurant is located in a busy part of London with an extensive street-facing façade on two sides. As part of the renovation, the restaurant’s management required a high-performance glazing system that improved the security of the business while also providing enhanced privacy and comfort for diners. The glazing also required a high level of insulation to keep out noise from the street, and good energy efficiency to improve the restaurant’s sustainability and utilities expenditure.

How we helped

The primary challenge our team faced was ensuring that the glazing installations aligned with the restaurant’s intricate architectural design while meeting the customer’s performance requirements. We recommended several high-performing aluminium glazing products to achieve the desired architectural vision and performance characteristics.

The project featured Technal MX Curtain Walling, a system known for its sleek design and structural integrity, allowing for expansive glazed areas that maximise natural light.  Additionally, Reynaers SL38 Aluminium Windows were installed to provide a balance of elegance, thermal efficiency, and durability.

Why we specified these products:

• Technal MX Curtain Walling: A modern curtain wall system offering superior structural performance and visual appeal, creating a striking façade for the restaurant.
• Reynaers SL38 Aluminium Windows: Designed to provide excellent thermal insulation while maintaining slim sightlines for a refined and contemporary appearance.
• Energy Efficiency: Both glazing systems contribute to improved thermal performance, reducing energy consumption within the restaurant.
• Premium Aesthetic: The combination of curtain walling and aluminium windows enhances the luxurious design of Bacchanalia Restaurant, reinforcing its status as a high-end dining destination.

Advanced Glass worked closely with Brown and Carroll (London) Ltd to coordinate precise installation techniques, ensuring seamless integration with the restaurant’s interior and exterior design elements. The use of high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship allowed for an impeccable finish within the project timetable and budget.

Outcomes

The successful completion of Bacchanalia Restaurant’s glazing project highlights our team’s versatility and expertise in delivering bespoke solutions for high-end commercial spaces. The installation of Technal MX Curtain Walling and Reynaers SL38 Aluminium Windows has enhanced both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the venue, contributing to a sophisticated and energy-efficient environment. The restaurant and its customers also appear happy with the result.
