I\u2019m very good at graduating during a recession or credit crunch, so the path wasn\u2019t always easy and finding work sometimes challenging. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, I ended up working at Chalk Architecture for almost 10 years and got amazing experience in hospitality and commercial projects. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I did about 40 Oliver Bonas stores throughout the UK where I cut my teeth on fast turnaround projects with a brief time for design and a 5 or 6 week build time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>SH<\/strong>: I\u2019m a bit of a nomad with a low boredom threshold, which luckily suits designing and working with buildings. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve lived in Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand and worked on museums, hospitals, golf clubs and housing before settling in Brighton and focussing on hospitality projects.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>What is exciting about designing restaurants?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>JD:<\/strong> Designing restaurants is different every time, which is what appeals to me. We\u2019ve worked in a few roll-out projects and it\u2019s good to finesse an initial design and make the changes you couldn\u2019t at first. You can also hone skills with each new site. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A one-off restaurant or bar is always varied and even with a repeat client, the design process is different. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We work closely with clients to fulfil the brief, but often it is with people who may not have run a restaurant before and although we don\u2019t profess to be restaurant service provider experts, we have lots of experience with a range of budgets, styles, timescales and scale of projects, so hopefully help the process move along.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>SH:<\/strong> I love designing restaurants as social spaces, to bring people together and enhance those positive feelings in the shared ritual of food and drink. As Jeremy said, I love that each brief is individual, creating space for high drama or relaxing calm to suit the restauranteur\u2019s intent. The restaurant should enhance the experience of the menu \u2013 the environment should whet your appetite for the food to be served.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14747\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14747\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14747\" src=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Furna-Brighton-Nov2022-PaulWinchFurness-1291.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Furna-Brighton-Nov2022-PaulWinchFurness-1291.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Furna-Brighton-Nov2022-PaulWinchFurness-1291-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Furna-Brighton-Nov2022-PaulWinchFurness-1291-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Furna-Brighton-Nov2022-PaulWinchFurness-1291-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Furna-Brighton-Nov2022-PaulWinchFurness-1291-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Furna-Brighton-Nov2022-PaulWinchFurness-1291-1280x960.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14747\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Furna.
