The Trafford Palazzo site placed Archie's alongside the NERF Action Xperience centre - a standalone restaurant next to a high-energy neighbour, working the theme through material and detail.

Our response used a playful industrial palette to tie the two worlds together. Exposed grey concrete and a refined industrial language give the space its backbone, while pink mesh, feature screens and LED lighting carry Archie's identity at full volume. The interior bridges Archie's image-led era and the energy of the attraction next door - same family, different address.

The layout works a busy floor hard, balancing party groups and walk-in diners across seating and circulation planned for turnover and movement.
