interior ARCHITECT Veeno, The Italian wine cafĂŠ, Manchester (UK)
In May 2015 I had a great business opportunity: to work for the development of a new Italian winebar chain based in the heart of Manchester (UK) called Veeno. Since then, I have been the leader of the core team who develops the projects of the new cafes from early stages to completion. Sketches, 3D models, drawings and curator of the interiors, & decorations, contacting suppliers and dealing with contractors: have been some of the daily tasks I have.

VEENO LEICESTER, 2016, COMPLETED On this project, I worked on two adjacent but separated units. Due to the narrow space, I had to find a solution to create enough space for the counter, customers and storage. Both of them where not in great conditions so they needed a proper re-vamp and fit-out. What I noticed from the beginning was the back of the stairs, close to the window: someone would have used that space for a small storage, but I appreciated that intimate corner so much that I decided to design it in a more suggestive way. I started to work on the layout once the wall in the middle was removed. I prepared few skeetches to understand the best position for the counter before ending up with the final one you can see in the next pages.

I have always put together several drawings and details for the counter: plans, sections, 3D views and schedules related to equipment. Here is an extract of the sheets related to the bar of Veeno Leicester.

VEENO KINGSTON, 2017, COMPLETED This winebar is one of my favourite. Previously it was a restaurant but its interiors were not very well combined with the amazing features of the building. So when we took over the unit, as first thing we worked to create a balanced harmony between details that come from the Veeno brand and decorations of the unit. On top of that, I worked to make sure the layout and the fruition were improved and optimised to help the staff and make sure customers could feel in a real authentic Italian winebar. So there is an informal ground floor, dominated by a rustic style and reclaimed timber, upstairs there is an elegant (not to formal) salon which can be used for big parties as well. Attention to the lighting and details made a great result.
