September 2010

DV8 were appointed by Warrington Town Football Club to come up with a solution for their training pitches at their ground on Loushers Lane. DV8 submitted a design for planning approval which included two state of the art all-weather pitches to replace the current training field and bring in additional revenue to the club from local 5-a side teams in the evenings.  The new pitches will allow year round training and low level maintenance. We are pleased to announce that planning permission has now been granted and the project will be underway in early 2011.

DV8 Designs have recently completed the design of a basement bar, games and entertainment area for a private a client in Cheshire.

The existing basement area in the 5 bed detached property was previously unused and the brief was to create a bar area for entertaining guests which could also accomodate a games and poker area!  The solution was well received by all, and even opened out onto a sunken garden area for summer evening entertainment.

DV8 were delighted on being commissioned to work on this exciting project,  and being given the opportunity to enhance their their vast bar portfolio in a different manner.

With the help of DV8 Designs, Warrington theme park Gulliver’s World has unveiled it’s new Diamond Lil’s Restaurant  which is located in the Western World area of the park, and offers families a varied choice of sandwiches, salads, jacket potatoes and other light snacks and meals. The emphasis is on healthy eating and giving customers more choice when they visit Gulliver’s, as part of the theme park’s pledge to provide nutritional options.

The restaurant’s diner-style design includes a huge 30ft mural painted by local artist Carla Horne, specially imported genuine Wild West posters and the ability for diners to enjoy old Wild West films while they place their order. 

Gulliver’s managing director Julie Dalton said: “It’s important for us to work with local businesses like DV8 Designs, and we’re delighted with how the restaurant has turned out – we can’t wait for customers to see it. It offers our customers an alternative to the main restaurant and snack bars, and there will be plenty of healthy choices to suit the whole family.” 

Managing Director of DV8 Designs Lee Birchall said: “It’s fantastic that Gulliver’s have had the confidence to work with a local architectural and interior design practice such as ours, rather than choose a nationally known practice to carry such an imaginative project. It goes to show Gulliver’s commitment and foresight to keep choosing local businesses, who intrinsically have Warrington’s interests at heart.”
