Adelaide-based design studio, Be Friendly, has delivered an elegant fit out for GOODdays Vietnamese restaurant in Brunswick, Melbourne.
Bistrot Gavroche in Kensington Street Chippendale, from the menu through to the interior, is unmistakably French. It’s not trying to be one step removed from its namesake, it’s right on top. Brought together by Design Portfolio, the Parisian Bistro is in what was once a Sydney rum factory.
"Kitchens have always been somewhere hidden and dirty, not somewhere you would be invited, but there is a real change going on there," says Adele Winteridge, founder of Melbourne’s Foolscap Studio – a practice on the tip of international tongues when it comes to clever hospitality design. Winteridge speaks to Sandra Tan for MEZZANINE.
“In every case we try to steer our clients to go for ‘less but better’,” says Alex Lake of Therefore Studio. With a growing portfolio of hospitality projects, including the pop-up Broadsheet Restaurant and the Marquis of Lorne, Therefore Studio is now moving into residential architecture.
Bringing Australia’s architecture and design community into focus since 2009.
