Fitting out London's finest buildings
With sculptures by Damien Hirst, hand-painted murals by Gary Myatt and genuine classical artefacts, Bacchanalia reinterprets the decadence of antiquity.
There’s little wonder why Bacchanalia has been dubbed the most expensive restaurant in the world. Housed in a former Porsche garage, it cost £75 million to transform the building into an exquisite interpretation of classical opulence. With flowing sculptures by Damien Hirst, bespoke glass by Paul Clifford and original, 2,000-year-old statues, this is a temple to beauty and craftsmanship giving guests the opportunity to escape to a world of the senses and imagination.
Brown & Carroll were involved in almost every aspect of this unique fit-out. From trenching and piling underneath the building, through to creating a cantilevered mezzanine floor, the premises needed to be able to support a vast weight of marble, stone, ornate metalwork and statuary. But it’s in the detail that the fit-out of this project really comes alive. The ladies’ restroom uses over 400,000 tiles to conjure up the mystical world of the Garden of Hesperides. Three hundred books of 24-carat gold leaf have been used to bring bold luxury to the main dining spaces.
