CHELTENHAM, England, August 3, 2010 - PKL has supplied a temporary kitchen for Westfield Stratford City's
"Studio East Dining Pavilion" - the innovative temporary 'pop up' restaurant
by Westfield in collaboration with Bistrotheque and Carmody Groarke.

The restaurant was erected on the roof of the 35m high Westfield
Stratford City development, currently being constructed in East London. The
restaurant was open for just three weeks, feeding around 2,000 people while
treating them to breathtaking views across London.

Studio East Dining was the brainchild of Westfield, working in
conjunction with Bistrotheque, who initiated the pop-up restaurant trend. The
restaurant launched Westfield's Studio East initiative which is designed to
harness young, creative talent by providing commissions across art, fashion,
product design and environment for the Westfield Stratford City project.

Designed by architects Carmody Groarke, the restaurant was made from
scaffolding and boards borrowed from the site and covered in recyclable
plastic sheeting, in keeping with its setting. PKL's kitchen facilities -
comprising a 'mini-kitchen', preparation kitchen and dishwashing area - were
pre-fabricated off-site and delivered to site in portable buildings,
reinforcing the 'construction site feel' of the project. The kitchens were
designed to Bistrotheque's strict specification.

All of the materials will now be returned to site. The 1.9m square feet
Westfield Stratford City will be the largest urban shopping centre in Europe
and will form the prestigious gateway to London's Olympic Park.
