ALL ABOARD
Adam Richards Architects has installed a floating restaurant on the Grand Union Canal in London’s Paddington. The Cheese Barge, as it’s known, is a custom-built narrowboat that cleverly brings contemporary architecture together with nautical design. A verdigris-coloured patinated metal roof gives the vessel a distinctive profile, while slimline glazing offers a bright and open feel. Inside, a handcrafted interior by Raven Collective blends buoy-like lamps, industrial details and tables made from recycled milk bottles and yoghurt pots. All together, it’s a comfortable spot for enjoying some of Britain’s best cheeses (thecheesebar.com).
