MYSA

Brasserie

Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire - 2024

Set within Stanboroughs, a Grade II-listed building whose fabric dates from the 16th century and 1637, MYSA is a 250-cover Mediterranean brasserie and bar in Hoddesdon. The project responds to a compressed entrance that previously concealed the scale and character beyond, transforming the arrival into a gradual reveal: a fresh, day-to-evening bar leads into a sequence of brighter dining spaces. Terracotta, warm beige, soft green and pale oak create a sun-washed palette in deliberate contrast to its Hertfordshire setting. Checkerboard floor tiles, striped wall panels, planting and bespoke linen-fringed pendants made in the Mediterranean bring rhythm and warmth to the generous interior, while exposed historic brickwork grounds its new identity in the building’s layered past.
