Turret Developments Scotland Ltd facilitated in bringing beautiful pizza and restaurant design to Morningside, this PizzaExpress eatery housed in the former Braid Church, a majestic sandstone building with a grand pillared entrance. The preserved architectural heritage of the domed ceiling, Venetian windows and curved timber gallery creates a decorative setting with a unique ambience.

A decorative floor tile feature has been installed down the centre of the restaurant leading to the open plan central ‘theatre’ kitchen with its carrara marble pizzaiola top and LED back lit octagonal laser cut glass façade, creating centre stage for the pizzaiolas to perform culinary feats whilst diners can watch on from the dining space which has been smartly furnished with green leather banquette seating.

Modifications to shopfront and the fit-out of a developers’ shell located just a short walk from the pier to form a pizza restaurant with a large heated al fresco area.

The bespoke white oak fronted pizzaiola counter with carrara marble top is defined with an illuminated ceiling making it “centre stage”.
The surrounding area influenced the palette of materials and colours used. A photographer was commissioned to create individual photographs of the local area to be displayed in the restaurant.

Refurbishment of a former bar to create an individual and distinctive restaurant, whilst being clearly recognisable as part of the Zizzi brand. Home to the Glasgow school of Art, the designers were drawn to the idea of creating a space that would evoke an artist’s studio. The interior was completely stripped back to the original shell in order to start again with a blank canvas. The exposed brick walls were white washed and the original double pitched roof, which was previously concealed, was opened up to allow light to flood in and help to create a light studio feel. Plumbing and drainage installations were carried out along with decoration works, tiling works and the installation of floor finishes throughout. A bespoke pizzaiola counter, bar counter and waiter stations were manufactured. Product display shelving and a steel butchers rail installed above the pizzaiola counter were used to create colourful focal points.
