Case Study: Carnegie Centre Restaurant

3D design of architectural development of town centre restaurant Commercial

At the heart of Tamworth Council’s multi-million pound plans for the development of a Creative Quarter and immediately next to Tamworth Assembly Rooms, is the historic Carnegie Centre.

The Carnegie Centre was Tamworth’s first library, it was built in 1905 with philanthropic funding from Scottish-American steel magnate Andrew Carnegie. In 1917 the centre was taken over for management by the local council.

As part of the wider Creative Quarter development, the Carnegie Centre was to become an up-market restaurant and bar with a dramatic and creative flair.

Developing an historic building to become a thriving venue in a town centre is a complex undertaking with a great many considerations from planning regulations and licensing to style and atmosphere.

Our work in detail

Neptune Architectural were engaged to shape the design and concept process with full 3D visualisations taken through rounds of review to ensure an outstanding design. We also handled the planning process, coordinating all the right assessments, licensing requirements and prepared detailed tender drawings vital to tendering the construction work to contractors.

We secured planning permission coordinating requirements like the Flood risk assessment and Geotechnical assessment as part of a ‘change of use’ planning application.

We planned for the erection of flue equipment and signage in the conservation area along with Alcohol licensing approval. Our prepared detailed construction and tender drawings go way beyond typical plans, they go into finer detail specifying many more points of technical construction. Our construction and tender pack is instrumental in helping our client with tendering the work to contractors by setting the spec in detail to ensure more accurate and complete quotes, based on a detailed plan.

This will be something very different for Tamworth. The concept I have is for a high-end restaurant, offering continental food that is served in a way that brings some drama and theatre to the evening.

Providing 3D resources for marketing and communications

Our client benefited further from our production of marketing and communications materials created for them from our 3D virtual models. These visual materials backed up by detailed specifics can be very useful to our client as they inform stakeholders and future customers of their plans. From printed brochures to social media posts, we helped the new Carnegie Centre Restaurant take shape in the minds of local people long before construction had begun.

The Creative Quarter project will complement the wider regeneration of Tamworth bringing around 100 new jobs and an estimated £13 million to the local economy. We’re very proud to be at the centre of it.
