The Navigator is part of the prestigious Upham Pub Group and offers delicious meals, with a distinct ‘surf and turf’ theme packed with locally-sourced ingredients. They also serve an array of carefully selected beers and wines including their home brewed fine Upham Ales. Being in a prime location opposite the marina and well known for its superb ambience, the restaurant and their rooms are always fully booked.  The owners were keen to capitalise on an existing under-utilised outside seating area. The existing area already had umbrellas in place but this solution limited the use of the space to fine weather. The owners had identified that during busy periods they could fill the restaurant twice over. They were concerned that they were neglecting their clients' needs and limiting their potential where dining was concerned. An area which provides them with their best return. 

Clients often come to me with a similar issue. They have outdoor space with stunning views across cities, coastlines or British countryside, raised off the floor and vulnerable to the elements. I am not just referring to a raised deck 3 feet from the ground, but 7th floors and beyond.  Restaurants and attractions with these types of view are in high demand and so much valuable space is wasted through the winter months and wet summer days. That’s where Broadview come into play, providing workable, revenue generating solutions for everyone. As with many seaside towns and busy tourist spots inland, many activities are outdoors, with Bournemouth attracting tourists for its 7 miles of golden sands.  Can you imagine what happens when it rains?  You’ve got it, the attractions and restaurants fill up fast with customers spending their holiday funds.  It’s just not practical to turn people away because the main building is full and the outside area sits empty.

For 137 years, Wimbledon High School in London has been educating thousands of female students to go out into the world and make a difference.

The prestigious Delicious Dining Group were looking to add a feeling of class and comfort to their new outdoor seating area at Banana Wharf in order to maximise their clients dining experience whilst taking in views of the marina. In addition to this they required sun protection to the inside dining room and new signage above the door. Not only did the terrace need to be eye-catchingly stunning as it is the frontage of the restaurant, the solution needed to provide cover, warmth and light. The prominent position of this new restaurant on the well know Poole Quay meant image was key in order to attract new customers from near and far.

Soho bar and kitchen in Christchurch Dorset is lucky enough to own a stunning terrace at the back of their building directly overlooking the famous ruins on the hill.  A glorious spot on a sunny day, the terrace had so much untapped potential.  Simon Wyatt-Budd, owner of Soho but an architect by trade, saw the opportunity to capitalise on the space and sought Broadview to design and install a system that would offer full protection on wet weather days. However, this area is also a sun trap in the evenings, attracting customers to the venue, so Simon was keen not to lose this appeal. The overall idea was to achieve extra cover all year round and an independent party space whatever the weather, with one of the best views in town. The bar also required cover for smokers in the downstairs terrace area.

Founded in 1910, Merchant Taylors' Prep is a prestigious preparatory school located in Northwood, Hertfordshire that teaches pupils from three to thirteen.
