A hospitality project focused on creating a vibrant and functional dining space.
HOP Vietnamese, King's Cross Fabrication and fit-out delivered on programme across a two-level flagship site — built to a live brief, without missing a beat.
When the design is still evolving on site, you need more than shopfitters — you need people who can think, adapt, and build with equal confidence.
Our Delivery
When 773 Creative’s creative director and Turner + Partners brought us into the HOP Vietnamese King’s Cross project, our job was clear: take a bold new brand direction and build it — properly, precisely, and to time. Across 3,000 sq ft and two levels, we fabricated and fitted out a space that needed to carry real cultural weight, rooted in the warmth of Vietnamese street food and built to handle the pace of one of London’s busiest transport hubs.
The brief was ambitious: a new flagship identity for a fast-growing QSR brand, with 52 covers, integrated self-service kiosks, bespoke joinery, and a basement level that needed to feel as considered as the ground floor. We delivered every element of that to the standard the design demanded.
What made this project particularly telling of how RCI Projects works is that the build and the design were running in parallel. Drawings were still being developed while our team was on site, which means you don’t just need craftspeople — you need problem-solvers who can read the intent of a design, make sound technical decisions in real time, and keep the programme moving without compromising the finish.
That’s exactly what we did. Our fabrication capability meant we could respond quickly as details evolved, and our site team had the experience to bridge the gap between what was on paper and what needed to happen on the tools that day. The result speaks for itself — a space that opened on programme and looks every bit as considered as the creative team intended.
