Rosa’s is a modern Thai restaurant in the heart of London’s Soho district. It comes following the huge success of the same restaurant in Spitafields in the East End of London. The Soho location was designed by Gundry & Ducker a London based firm, who aimed to create a restaurant which  mimicked the style of food being served. It therefore went for an elegant yet homey atmosphere, achieved through the use of varying textures and types of wood.

The ceilings are comprisecd of gloss pink panels in a brick pattern, while the mouldings are made from modified oak  and ogee-curved.

Downstairs the designers maintained the same theme, but this time in black gloss and reclaimed grey teak.

The great thing is that this place is a 10 minute walk from the eOffice Broadwick Street location, so I’m definitely checking them out for some lunch! You can also find more information on Rosa’s website, and if anyone goes before me what’s the food like?

Kettner’s was opened in 1867 by Auguste Kettner, the then chef to Napoleon III. Since then the venue has hosted a whole array of famous individuals ranging from Oscar Wilde, to King Edward VII.  The bar is comprised of four Georgian houses, which have recently been refurbished and remodelled to bring the venue squarely into the 21^st Century.  The furnishings were entirely created by IIse Crawford of Studio IIse which is also based in London. Kettner’s, which is a stones throw away from the eOffice London location, has received great reviews. Chief among these was Time Out  when it stated – “Kettners has warmth and a sense of bonhomie that only the best brasseries possess”.

An exclusive interview with Pier Paolo Mucelli – Founder and CEO of eOffice on yourBusinessChannel, featuring Lyndon Gasking – Commercial Director UK, BzzAgent and Paul Cascey – Research Manager, CFE. They were asked how businesses can address the environment they work in.

Pier Paolo Mucelli explains:

“eOffice, the third work space is a provider of flexible office solutions meeting and conference facilities. Primarily for start-ups, entrepreneurs, freelancers, new businesses. We also have a lot of blue chip companies using our business facilities. We are a dynamic company, fast growing. We currently have four business centres in the U K. We started from the fashionable part of London, Soho, we then expanded to Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol. We have plans to expand the concept internationally.

I think the office environment is a critical part of any budding businesses. You can of course work from home. I mean Microsoft started from a garage, if you remember well, and the office has become a place, where to meet, you meet your suppliers, you meet your team members of course, and you work with your team members and you create a structure and of course you meet your clients. So it is fundamental to have a design which is first of all very well located. Our location of the office is prime location, is very easily accessible, by car, by taxi, by bus, by tube, by train. Beautiful buildings, great interior design and great visibility.”
