Coppa Club The Townhouse Guildford
Coppa Club The Townhouse Guildford is located on a beautifully cobbled bustling high street in the iconic and locally-loved Burton’s building. Set across three floors, the layout is designed so that guests can settle in for the day enjoying a members club-mentality with all-day dining, co-working, drinking and socialising all under one roof. Run For the Hills designed all the interiors as well as a new logo, bespoke art and a hand-painted mural.
The ground floor is a café, bar and workspace, with a ‘snug’ lounge area perfect for working from, catching up with friends, or simply relaxing.
The middle floor features a brasserie and private dining space, with the brasserie open for all-day dining. Open based banquette seating with contrasting rugs and a central antique brass chandelier creates a homely and relaxed feeling.
The top floor boasts a destination cocktail bar with signature blend cocktails and the in-house DJ can be enjoyed from the comfort of the club lounge sofas and cocktail chairs under a dark and moody blue ceiling.
Guests can journey through the floors using the feature brass framed glass lift that gently ascends through the bespoke hand-painted mural designed and created by Run for the Hills. The flowing mural takes inspiration from the interior colour palette, starting on the ground floor colour deepens, mixing in layers of lively rich blue accents before your arrival to the ambient cocktail bar.
Yeast Bakery
Much loved by locals, Yeast Bakery is now based in a new location near Broadway Market in east London. Run for the Hills designed the interior and completed a brand makeover.
The bakery specialises in the production of high quality, hand-made viennoiserie, baking fresh every morning and delivering seven days a week to boutique coffee shops, restaurants and delicatessens across London. The bakery cafe is open for lunch and brunch offering a wide range of seasonal specialities and flavours, as well as breads. It also has a deli and by evening offers live music and a lifestyle boutique.
Run For The Hills co-founder Anna Burles comments:
“Ben and Angela came to us when they were looking at taking on this larger venue, which looks directly onto the Regents canal. Our brief was to create 4 distinct zones within the large open plan space, with areas for the Bakery counter, a Cafe zone, Lifestyle & Deli and the all-important nerve-centre Kitchen / Bakery. The venue itself was a large, glazed industrial style space, and our creative brief was to soften things, injecting more of an urban artisan vibe.”
Owners Ben Keane and Angela Chan started the bakery in 2011 with a simple goal – to make the perfect croissant. Focusing on simple, quality ingredients, they combine the craft, care, and attention to detail of baking to make our their viennoiserie and bread. Researching, tasting and testing to ensure everything their bakery makes is delicious:
“When we decided to take on a larger new home, we wanted to take our brand and interior design to another level and enlisted the help of Run For The Hills to do that. We were particularly drawn to them as they have both branding and interior design disciplines in-house, and we loved the idea of being able to work with one creative agency on both, as we believe both reinforce one another.”
Paradise Green
Paradise Green is the third hospitality venue that Run For The Hills has designed for the Daisy Green Collection, following their work creating Scarlett Green in Soho, and Bondi Green in Maida Vale Paddington.
This latest all-day bar, restaurant and cafe is the largest yet, in a brand new home in the very heart of the City of London. Just moments from Liverpool Street, Paradise is an art-filled Deco-chic restaurant of two sides - ‘Sunrise’ and ‘Sunset’ paying homage to the gorgeous golden beaches, early mornings and sultry nights of Surfers Paradise (on Australia’s Gold Coast).
Each side has its own entrance and a distinct personality, connected only by a staircase winding up to a mezzanine above with buzzy open kitchen, pizzeria and high-concept PDR bar and group dining rooms, encapsulated within an art installation by artist Lucy Sparrow, which used to feature at the Saatchi Art Gallery. Paradise is a truly epic-sized hospitality space from Prue Freeman and Tom Onions, hugely successful founders of the Daisy Green Collection.
