VinCaffe, recently opened, offers a city centre venue for Valvona & Crolla Ltd. - undoubtably one of Scotland’s finest delicatessens. Valvona & Crolla restaurant: image from Reaich and Hall Architects The project was completed to a very tight programme and opened to host Gordon Brown’s ‘Piggy Bank Kids’ charity and Nigella Lawson’s Scottish book launch of ‘Feast’. Valvona & Crolla restaurant: entry - internal image from Reaich and Hall Architects The architectural expression explores creating an interior architecture which somehow expressed the client’s new venture yet also evoked a sense of having been there for years. Valvona & Crolla restaurant: entry - image from Reaich and Hall Architects The first floor contains a restaurant and private dining rooms, this is expressed in a palette of rich, simply detailed materials notably walnut floor and wall panels. The ground floor contrasts with the upstairs. Here the brief was more ambiguous, “a shop combined with eating and drinking, a place to drop in and converse.” MAIN CONTRACTOR : Laurence McIntosh QS & PLANNING SUPERVISOR : Williams and Inglis M & E ENGINEERS : Rybka STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS : Goodson Associates LIGHTING DESIGNER : Foto-Ma Lighting Architects Lights for Vin Caffe supplied by Mike Stoane Lighting Address: Vin Caffe Shop & Restaurant, Multrees Walk, Edinburgh The original Valvona & Crolla restaurant & delicatessen is based on Elm Row at the top of Leith Walk, Edinburgh The Walk, 30 - 34 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, Scotland CDA (Comprehensive Design Architects) The Walk, Edinburgh: image from CDA Recent addition is Valvona & Crolla - VinCaffé in Oct 2004.
