YEUNGS RESTAURANT
GLOUCESTER
Completion 1991

Using themes and motifs from traditional Chinese garden architecture, an existing 1960's café adjacent to Gloucester Cattle Market was transformed into a contemporary restaurant.
The blank end wall of the single storey structure was removed to open the interior out onto a new ornamental garden approach. Through a series of screens the restaurant interior can be glimpsed. A free standing steel and timber lattice screen provides a framed view into the restaurant and a trellis for climbing plants.
The end wall is a fully glazed timber screen framed in high gloss varnished douglas fir circular columns on spherical plinths. Curved steel balustrades protect the glass and a serpentine glazed canopy oversails the entrance.
The entrance lobby is formed from a glazed 'moongate' which is replicated in mirror glass within the restaurant interior to accentuate the perspective view upon entering the restaurant.
