Light The light and itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; qualities are specifically managed in order to create a dark atmosphere for the eel ponds as the young eels have to be protected from direct sunlight

Sound Because of the size and the shape of the space an echo effect is expected. The visitors will hear loudly there footsteps, the splashing water and the movement of the large eels

Materials The materials are kept to a minimum. The structures are made of in situ concrete with steel reinforcements and steel truss construction for the roof

Thesis Project - The Eelosystem

Concept Eelosystem eatery is developed to compliment the Eel farm experience and comes as a natural conclusion of the visitors’ journey. The serving is heavily influenced by the fresh produce supplied on site by the fish farm.

Eelosytem The eel deal eatery

The concept brings together two aspects of East London. Trendy present catalyst for creativity and working class past full of character, flavour and authenticity. Design The surroundings and architectural specifics of the site shape it into a unique and beautiful interpretation of a traditional Pie and Mash shop. The modern design combines reinvented elements of Victorian and Georgian design. Culture In addition of being a wonderful place to explore original food staples, such as pie and mash, the restaurant acts as an ambassador, promoting East London’s rich culture. Eeelosystem is a refined version of a Pie and Mash shop. It offers simple, yet sophisticated space in which the diners could enjoy the tradition of East London.

Service Emphasis will be placed on the cockney no fuss style of service. Menu The menu is structured around the signature dish of Pie and Mash plus daily specials exploring world eel recepies. Beverage As an addition it also offers great artisan coffee and tea in a modern East London barista style. The alchoholic selection of drinks is sourced from the local micro breweries, which are a grwoing trend in East End. Feature elements • Reclaimed Thames Brick Bar The feature bar/food counter is constructed of washed up bricks from the Thames riverbed. • Marble Tables • Victorian inspired floor tiles • Bookshelf with East London publications and periodicals Inspiratinal imagery overleaf
