John Whelan Maison Francois Restaurant
Maison Francois Restaurant is Silver Design Award winner in 2020 - 2021 Hospitality, Recreation, Travel and Tourism Design Award Category.
Maison Francois Restaurant

The design of Maison Francois aims to evolve the brasserie genre. Rather than looking to the Art Deco period for inspiration, GSL embraced Postmodernism and Brutalism, most notably referencing Ricardo Bofill’s La Fabrica in Barcelona, with its grand terracotta arches and rough cement ceiling. The layout of the restaurant nevertheless follows a classic brasserie format, with noble materials throughout and details that evoke iconic establishments of the past.
