Chaophraya Leeds now open...

Leeds Chaophraya is the original in the rapidly expanding Chao restaurant chain owned by Martin Stead and Kim Kaewkraikhot this, coupled with the fact that Leeds is Mr Stead's home town, meant JMDA had to produce something very special. Following on the heels of the opulent Glasgow site, this was no small challenge.

The original and successful Leeds site was housed within the first floor of the mixed use development Blayds Court and when the ground floor, a former high-end furniture store, became available the owners grabbed the opportunity with both hands. 

Throughout the restaurant there is a feeling of relaxed sophistication and style, whilst the Palm Sugar bar captures the energy and ambition which Leeds is famous for.

Chaophraya Leeds has written another successful chapter in the evolution of the chain.

Chaophraya Edinburgh

Chaophraya Edinburgh is now open...

Situated on Castle Street, this 4th floor restaurant boasts a rooftop terrace with, at one end, uninterrupted views of the castle. JMDA wanted to make a year-round use of the USP and have incorporated a 'glass-box' extension working closely with glass specialists and structural engineers to create a state of the art extension.

Enabling works for this included inserting new steelwork in the floor below, which required close liaison with the Landlords to ensure that the recently refurbished office space was reinstated exactly as it had been. The theme for this particular restaurant was the dynamism of a Thai City and criss-crossing illuminated screens and wall cladding have been designed along with mirror cladding to walls and ceilings which doubles the effect.

As usual for this client, lighting is bespoke and a 3m long fish tank features as a screen. An exhibition kitchen with an angled mirror-clad pass features and a floor to ceiling wine wall screen acts as a central divide to one area.

Reds True Barbecue

Creative Design House JMDA rollout another unique concept that has Leeds restaurant scene talking...!!

Our entrepreneurial clients have travelled extensively in the US and wished to utilise their BBQ cooking expertise in the UK. At once, enthused by their knowledge and outline ideas, JMDA worked closely with them to create a concept which wasn't reliant upon American cliches but still incorporated the values of true 'deep south' cooking. 

Their first site superbly located at the side of the iconic Corn Exchange in Leeds City Centre uses natural rustic timbers and exposed brickwork as a canvas to 'industrial' lighting, exposed services and feature metal cages displaying products. A moody bohemian bar area has been incorporated to one side which is proving popular for both pre-food and post-food drinks.

Quasi-religious iconography as a feature to menus and general branding giving the concept a memorable twist...
