@sansarc.studio transformed an old tram shed in an industrial pocket of Adelaide’s inner west into a new café that celebrates the grower-to-plate ethos.

Having grown up on farms in the country, the owners of Bloom wanted to showcase links to fresh produce, local farmers and growers.

The newly opened café sits beside Karrawirra Parri/River Torrens, opposite the former West End Brewery and occupies a former tram shed in Thebarton – an industrial, city-fringe location that is slowly gentrifying.

From the outset, Bloom was designed to draw from its own gardens. Raised beds were installed around the tram shed for that purpose and the owners established a larger garden at nearby Woodville for fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Kew House by @fionalynchoffice is an inventive reworking of a grand Queen Anne property in Kew that honours colour and distilled materiality. Partnering earthy tones to enhance the secluded mood of the original home’s traditional features with a newly built light and airy rear addition, two different experiences are clearly defined, balancing saturated depth and weightlessness.

Kew House is shortlisted in the Colour category for the 2021 IDEA Awards. Fiona Lynch is also a finalist for Designer of the Year with winners to be announced next February.
