Situated next to the law courts at the heart of the city, Zen has already become a favourite with both locals and visitors alike after injecting a new lease of life into Durham's culinary and bar scene.

 

 

Fluid Design Solutions has created a distinctive interior for the restaurant by combining soft red lighting, stylish cream furnishings and dark wood wall panelling with authentic Oriental detail. Now an elegant, peaceful environment, Zen is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal or cocktails with friends.

 

Nigel Gadd, owner of Zen, said: "My wife and I have spent quite a lot of time in the Far East and our experiences heavily influenced our vision for Zen. Fluid Design Solutions took the brief we gave them and created the perfect balance of contemporary style and Oriental inspiration. The atmosphere they have achieved is exactly what we wanted and more importantly, it has been well received and a huge success with our customers."  

 

"We were particularly pleased with the different zones in the restaurant including the comfortable, private dining area to the rear and the covered urban garden which allows customers to enjoy the various dishes on offer in an alfresco setting."

 

Offering an extensive menu range from casual lunches and light bites to fine dining, Zen has delivered an alternative way to enjoy food.

 

Dave King, Managing Director of Fluid Design Solutions said: "We are thrilled with the outcome of Zen. Restaurants present their own set of challenges as a design project and through working closely with Nigel to answer his brief, I think the design has made great use of the space available and has totally transformed this commercial venue."
