The concept for the design of the new restaurant for Nando’s in Hovestems from the memoryofa shipwreck offthe Dorset coast in January2008. Following thesinking of the Ice Prince, much of its cargo of morethan 2000 tonnes of timber eventually washedupalong the south coast, resulting in random but striking formations, most notablyatWorthing beach. STAC Architecture’s intention was to recreate some of the movement and organicnatural forms whileacknowledging the memoryofthis spectacular event. The decision was taken to work with unfinished character oak externally, which will weathernaturallyovertime,paired witha black brick that is reminiscent of the black pebbles strewn across the coastline.

After extensive research to find the optimum brick for the project, STAC came across Ibstock’s Linear collection. Thinner and longer than standard bricks,this gave amorecontemporary character to the exterior walls. The brick also features small depressions along the external face, as if ‘eroded’. The Black Impressionbrickwas usedalongside the natural blue UmbraSawtooth and copper glazed UmbraSawtooth,and in conjunctionwith thousands of bespoke oak‘bricks’ to create various featuresthroughout the restaurant. Externally the LinearBlack Impressions wereused in stack-bond format with bespoke corner bricks. Internallythey wereused to create an entrance draft lobby.“We had abit of fun with the lobby and created acompound curved brick wall–this can be experienced from both sides and it is nice to see the manufacturer’s stamp on the rear of thebrick 14 •IBSTOCK <strong>DESIGN</strong> •SPRING 2016
