Claudine is a French neighbourhood restaurant, located in a restored 1930s chapel, with cooking by Michelin starred chef Julien Royer. The design reinterprets the traditional French brasserie to create a convivial dining hall. Fifty custom glass panels which feature locally foraged pressed native grasses, made in collaboration with This Humid House, line the panelled walls to create an immersive artwork that connects the restaurant to the surrounding landscape. A 15-metre long signature light snakes across the length of the restaurant. A glimmering brass-backed bar sits below the abstract stained glass window, with the gabled roof painted a deep, earthy red. The dining hall is divided by a series of screens in elegantly scalloped timber. Sofas upholstered in grass green velvet, sit on a large burnt sienna wool rug. Perimeter banquettes are covered in sand-coloured linen, paired with classic bistro-style bentwood chairs that sit against leather topped tables.
