RESIDENTIAL WINE BAR & PRIVATE DINING

This residential wine bar and private dining room were designed to be used an extension of each resident’s apartment, fostering interaction and a sense of community within this 188 apartment, 32 storey residential building.

The interiors exude warmth and a natural, earthy sophistication. A rich and textural timber pallette seamlessly span the floors, walls and ceilings evoking the sensation of being nestled within a tree canopy—an homage to its rooftop location atop a sculptural building inspired by Brisbane's iconic Moreton Bay Fig Tree.

At the heart of the dining room, the striking St Elle Quartzite island and splashback, with its leather-textured finish, create a bold and moody focal point that contrasts beautifully with the timber surrounds. Adjacent, the Residents' Wine Cellar adds a touch of refinement, showcasing an artful display of wines that elevates the dining experience.

I led the interior design team, from concept through to construction documentation and site delivery, I was responsible for the integration of the architectural and interior design, spatial planning, custom joinery design and selection of finishes, fixtures and equipment, ensuring the interiors complemented the architectural vision.
