Commercial Design of Drive-Thru

LEON Restaurant’s first ever Drive-Thru

Redhead Architects were delighted to be asked to developed the concept and all of the technical drawings needed to roll-out a new Drive-thru concept for LEON restaurants.

The concept formed through a series of playful sketches and client meetings. This led to a design which was modelled entirely in 3D, including bespoke furniture, signage, lighting and every item of kitchen equipment.

This allowed the LEON team to ‘walk around’ the design and fine-tune the operational layout in Virtual Reality, all ahead of time, to ensure that every element of the design worked perfectly.

After incorporating everyone’s comments, a full pack of construction drawings was produced. Redhead Architects is also working with LEON to make maintenance and Facilities Management far easier by embedding Operation & Maintenance information in to the BIM model, which can in turn be easily accessed on a phone or tablet by members on the LEON team.

The first Drive-Thru opened in Leeds and is trading well. Another has opened in Harrogate and there are plans for a further 10 Drive-Thru’s later on in the year.
