Notes from Post Office visit

  • Restaurant/bar/ conference facility/full functional offerings.
  • first floor -  restaurant 200 seats available, hoping to offer European style menu, Spanish,french,German,Italian.
  • Ground floor  - cafe area(during day) and a separate bar area open in the evening.
  • modern style cafe selling Penni's, croissants etc.
Target Audience and purposes:
  • Bar - young people 18-24
  • Restaurant - families, special occasions, wont to create a nice and friendly environment.
  • Conference area - for business, weddings and other big event, capable to hold 120 people

The Post Office
  • The building was used as a Post Office for 60 years, calling the entertainment venue "the post office"  would be ideal as people in the town and surrounding area know it originally as "The Post Office"
  • good location within the town centre.
  • Originally it was, what is know today as a Stately Home.
  • Then owned by the Chatwynd Family formally Chetwynd House.
The client wont the new entertainment venue to thrive for years to come, to move with trends and time, this needs to be in mind when branding "the post office".

Colours:

  • bright red for bar with white round table.
  • a more toned down contemporary style approach for the restaurant, he wants to create an environment that fit everyone needs. 
  • For the conference and wedding facility there will be a more business and formal approach with natural colours being used for weddings and special occasions

Have all of this in mind when designing. 

The front left of the building on the inside is grade 2 listed as well as the main front gates.
