September 2026 sees the arrival of the K-BRIQ in London’s Soho in an exciting hospitality project designed by Box 9 Design, a multi-disciplinary architectural and design practice which seeks the most elegant, refined and restrained design solutions.

Their latest project for reknowned restaurateur, David Carter, is built almost entirely from the Chapman Burnt Orange K-BRIQs and K-SLIPs, made of close to 100% waste content from construction and demolition waste. Feature walls, flooring, the wine cellar, stairwell and fireplace bring atmosphere and detail in a myriad of brickbonds.

“As we dive deeper into the world of beautiful waste materials, we continue to uncover true gems,” says co-founder Lou Davies at Box 9.  “Kenoteq have developed a durable, high-performance building material. Longevity is key for our restaurant clients and finding something this beautiful and built to last was no easy task”.

“Kenoteq’s work does exactly that,” continues Lou, “engineered to perfection, visually stunning and completely circular.  The materials we choose must strike a balance between beauty, technical excellence and crucially align with our mission to build better”.

Kenoteq is thrilled to be working alongside the best of hospitality design expertise with a small deeply committed team who take a holistic, purpose-driven approach—ensuring every element is thoughtfully considered as part of a coherent and sculptural whole.  It is also great to have the client fully on board with the concept too, driving sustainability across their restaurant design and operation as well as their tantalising menus rooted in fire-cooking and Turkish heritage.

The robust palette for this project aimed not only to reduce impact at the point of making, but to age beautifully under the intensity of a fast-paced restaurant - and reducing the need to repair, replace and strip-out. The K-BRIQ and K-SLIP feature alongside other striking materials from Diespeker and Pyrolave UK and softer handmade Anatolian gestures.
