Burger King at Bristol Airport reflects our capability to design for complex, high-traffic airport environments, delivering on both speed and quality.
Our Role in the Project
This project formed part of Bristol Airport’s enhanced food and beverage offering for passengers. It involved converting an existing retail unit into a fully operational fast-food restaurant with seating and bar facilities, all within a live airport environment.
We provided structural design for the fit-out, supporting the fast-paced programme and coordinating with the project team to meet an accelerated opening date. Key considerations included:
Structural Adaptation - Reconfiguring the existing unit to accommodate kitchen services, bar areas, and customer seating without compromising structural integrity.
Service Integration - Allowing for installation of specialist catering equipment and ventilation systems while maintaining clear passenger circulation routes.
Durability Under Load - Ensuring the structure could withstand constant use, with high daily passenger volumes passing through the space.
Improving the Passenger Journey
Airport concessions need to operate smoothly under pressure while maintaining an inviting customer experience. Our structural input ensured the restaurant was completed to programme, enabling passengers to enjoy more dining choice - whether grabbing a quick bite before departure or relaxing with a drink while waiting for arrivals.
The work, in plate order.
