One week to go....

We are one week from completion of the interior of The Botanist, in the newly built Trinity shopping centre in Leeds. It is getting very exciting, the decorators are due in over the weekend preparing the walls for all the beautiful artwork we have commissioned. Then the Paul Danson Imagineering team are arriving early next week for an intense few days of propping.

Work is well on it's way on site for The Botanist in the new Trinity shopping center in Leeds. It's starting to take shape and we are way ahead of schedule.

New Concept in the pipeline!!

 

 

The Paul Danson Imagineering team are really excited as have been appointed to create the concept for yet another New World Pub Company.

 

As you may know with the Botanist and The Oast House their interior design theme is explained in the name....all soon to be revealed.

The Botanist No. 2!!

After the huge success of The Botanist, Alderley Edge our client Living Ventures was keen to get us started on The Botonist number two!! This is going to be located in a new build shopping Center in Leeds. 

Due to Christmas coming up very soon everyone at Paul danson imagineering have been working to an almost impossible deadline. But finally we got the drawing package complete a ready to go out to tender. 

Now the race is on to get all our manufacturers up to speed on the scheme so they can get started on producing our spectacular bespoke furniture/lighting/steelwork etc.

We are also trying to source as many props as possible before Christmas, as there's only a couple of weeks before we start work on site after. 

Like for the Botanist AE we have visited our favourite prop shop HomeBarn in Little Marlow. Below is a glimpse of some of the great things we found.......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally What You All Have Been Waiting For...

The Botanist, Alderley Edge opened Tuesday 2nd October.

We set out to produce an interior offer not catered for in the village of Alderley Edge and lay to lie the ghost of the old No15.

Everything you can see and touch is bespoke, all the timber is hand picked from reclaimed timber yards, the metal work has been designed and produced specifically for the project. All the light fittings are unique and carefully designed emulating a botanical twist.

Even the tables and chairs are all refurbished and individually commissioned for the project.

An intimate feel has been created with props and stunning hand crafted botany cabinets which are filled with interesting antique props from a bygone era. You can see old botany books, original testing equipment and watering cans, it’s almost educational!

The Botanist can be described as proper pub with a twist and a pinch of humour.

Our Vision is almost a reality with the final touches being done to The Botanist, Alderley Egde. It really does look quite spectacular.....

 



The Botonist Spectacular Lighting

Today on site the first lighting circuit was switched on....and it looked great!!

Below shows the feature chandelier which hangs in the main bar area. It is made from an ancient waggon wheel, spruced up with some blingey glass items to give it Alderley Edge approval.

 

For the main restaurant area we chose to have illuminated ceiling coffers....

 

And for the amazing conservatory area/old granddad’s shed we had to create something very interesting....
