A Bar for Two Horses is shortlisted for the BIID
A Bar for Two Horses, designed by Pencil and Brick, brings vibrant mid-century warmth to Walthamstow and earns a BIID Awards shortlist spot.
A Bar for Two Horses is shortlisted for the BIID Awards, recognising its creative blend of industrial character and warm, welcoming design. Designed by Pencil and Brick, the bar and pizza restaurant brings a fresh energy to one of Walthamstow’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods.

We are so delighted that A Bar for Two Horses, is shortlisted for the BIID Awards.
Our client wanted more than just a place for food and drinks; they wanted a venue that could host live music, events, and local art.
To meet this vision, we designed a flexible, welcoming space that now brings people together throughout the day and evening. This cocktail bar and pizza restaurant brings new life to one of Walthamstow’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods; a vibrant local hub with interiors that celebrate the area’s industrial roots and a warm mid-century feel.
We’re best known for our residential work, but this design project gave us the chance to explore something new with many of its design elements echoing the kind of comfortable, character-filled spaces we love to create at home.
Big thanks to our brilliant collaborators: Flamingo and Oak, Constant Structural Design, The Lighting Asylum, and CLPM.
