February 2004 News Post:

"SHH's ground-breaking flagship restaurant design for McDonald’s in London's Oxford Street is getting itself noticed by the world's leading style and retail press. The UK's 'Interior Design' magazine called the restaurant 'a radical new concept', 'Theme' noted that 'McDonald's have really pushed the boat out', 'RED' called the project an 'edgy, youth-oriented scheme', whilst FX, who have dedicated four pages to the new design in this month's edition, commented that the restaurant design had 'set new benchmarks for fast-food retail' and 'shows what can be done with a bit of imagination'. Outside of the UK, the project has been picked up on for forthcoming articles in US retail publication RD&VP, French architectural magazine AMC, Australian lifestyle mag LINO and superstylish Russian magazine MONITOR Unlimited. The UK's design establishment are beginning to pick up on the project too, with our peers voting the restaurant into the finals of the 'Hospitality Environments' category of the Design Week Awards, which take place next month."
