THE PROJECT The project involves delivering a restaurant that will house Bompas & Parr’s immersive dining experience within the Expo 2020 village. The site is located on the first floor of pavilion 0S01, which is 710 sqm. The project will have the following areas: A reception area with jellyfish tanks, museum/exhibition space where cocktails and canapés will be served, fully equipped kitchen and licensed bar area, museum terrace, open dining area, private dining area, experiential corridor, storage and control room, and changing rooms. The restaurant will operate for 6 months, and the installation works should be considered as temporary and easily removable. OUR APPOINTMENT Bompas & Parr have been appointed by Expo 2020 to design, construct and operate an immersive dining experience. We were brought in to support them by managing the design stage to submission to the EXPO review team; the fit-out works will be carried out in 2021. Our role entailed managing the design coordination between Bompas & Parr (client and architectural designer), A&T (design and build contractor), CSA (MEP designer), Barc Solutions (Sira consultant), IT/AV (Eurotech) and lighting (TechLumen) designers and the EXPO review team. We reviewed the design submission and managed the official submission process inclusive of submitting all packages.
THE BENEFIT Our client benefited from our comprehensive management of the full tender process for a design and build contractor as well as the submissions process for the Expo. We provided advice on the local regulations and made the process seamless for a business that is new to the UAE. We managed multiple stakeholders to complete a full scope design schedule and bring about a successful conclusion to the design element. Once construction is set to begin in 2021, we will be managing the full fit out scope for this exciting and unique project under a mission critical timeline aligned with the EXPO launch.
