The confident, bold approach to the redesign takes reference from the buildings locality through organic form and open plan living. The outcome is a balance between architecture and the exterior environment. Open site lines through to the tropical vegetation are contrasted with faceted timber screening that form broken sight lines when navigating through the ground floor restaurant and bar. Greenery familiar to the surrounding area will be introduced, juxtaposed against the existing concrete structure and new locally sourced timber joinery. 3D Rendering - Guest Room

PANETTERIA BY FUCINA / LONDON, UK Organic italian deli

RESPONSABILITIES

During employment at Andy Martin Architecture (AMA). Design development of joinery, detail and tender documents, construction drawings, liaising with contractors and suppliers, site visits - installation assistance and instructions. Responsible for display and joinery design (woodwork and metalwork), overseeing manufacturing and delivery. Assisted with branding, product packaging and collateral design.

PROGRAM

Bakery, freshly made breads, pastries, coffee bar, special blends of coffee, the finest Italian artisan grocery items, as well as fresh gelato and pasta making rooms.

NARRATIVE

Panetteria by Fucina, on the same site as Fucina, sells artisan foodstuffs foraged from Italy’s vast regions by food buyer Andrea Orsini. Though the panetteria is ultimately a shop, there are three coffee blends served and some space to stand at the bar to drink and people watch. Fresh pastries and novel “breakfast pizzas” can also be had in. But the real pull is the organic produce that’s been carefully chosen from Italy. Andrea’s meats, dried pastas, oils and canned goods include, for instance, fruits, sweets and truffles from makers that have otherwise not yet made it to these shores. Otherwise, the opening will suit home cookers and hoarders of fine Italian produce in London. Organic like the restaurant, the bakery - headed by ex Princi head baker Massimiliano Porta - will serve five pioneering new loaves made with stone-ground wholemeal bread, in slow-fermented dough. Meats from Fucina’s wood fire pit will be served in sandwiches at lunchtime to-go.
