What is the ‘big (IDEA)’ behind this project?
The idea is to return to solidity of materiality to create a city pub warm in ambience, achieved through use of recycled ironbark flooring, epoxy covered concrete and crimson stained plywood. A ceramic tiled bar with a terrazzo stone top mimics the remnant art deco ceiling. Distinct but flexible spaces accommodate patrons in the reduced square footage; each space features a printed mural (designed collaboratively with Cutts Creative). The main dining area becomes a dance floor and a cosy booth area provides a quiet retreat.
