Marco Polo On The River Restaurant, London

A defined outdoor dining area was needed by Marco Polo on the River, a restaurant situated in a mixed development on the bank of the Thames.

Outside the restaurant was a large expanse of paving, offering little distinction between the dining area and the public open space. IOTA’s Stratos granite planters were selected to create a physical boundary between the private and public space. Large straight-sided planters and trough planters were used, butted together, to create a wall which fully enclosed the space. Planted with buxus topiary, the result was an impressive and welcoming dining terrace, offering a much improved experience for customers seated outdoors.
