A gaming room that plays like a film set.

The new Luxe Gaming Room at the Ivanhoe of Manly leaves the beachside classic at the door. Dark, moody palettes carry moments of shimmer and glow, with sculptural detailing that gives the room drama and depth.

Fifteen years working with this venue. See more in bio.

Built for quiet nights, or crowded ones.

A venue cannot only come alive when it is full. We design rooms that feel right with a handful of people on a quiet night and still hold a crowd on the biggest one. Both days pay the bills.

Breakfast or lunch under a very high ceiling.

Grand Café sits at Chifley Square in the city, drawing on Florentine design in a tall, calm room. It works as two spaces, a main dining room and an espresso bar, tied together by cool tones and a run of multi-coloured marble. The detail is in the joinery and restraint.

Designing interiors since 1997.

We opened our doors in 1997 and have worked in hospitality ever since. Close to thirty years in one industry means we have watched trends come and go, and learned what actually lasts. That is the experience you hire us for.

Keeping the old building, changing everything about it.

On the Gold Coast Highway, we kept the bones of the existing tavern and replaced the front with clean, simple forms behind a screen veil. Inside, monolithic brick, tall ceilings and planting let light and air move through. A central bar anchors the ground floor, supported by a gaming room and covered sports bar.

Construction has started at 400 George Street.

We're proud to keep building with Harvey's Hot Sandwiches, now on their new flagship in the heart of the Sydney CBD. The hoardings are up and the countdown to opening has begun.

More than 500 built venues Australia-wide.

Since 1997 we have helped more than five hundred venues open their doors. That number matters, because hospitality is unforgiving. A space either works for the operator and the guest, or it does not last.

We turned a hotel penthouse into a rooftop bar.

Fleet sits on level 22 of the Vibe Hotel Melbourne, in what used to be the penthouse apartments. It holds ninety and reads like a private suite, with amber and dusty tones, custom furniture and a long bar where rum does most of the talking. The retractable roof and glass keep the city in view in any weather.

Our work has driven more than a billion in food and drink sales.

We design hospitality that has to perform, not just photograph well. Across the venues we have delivered, that adds up to more than one billion dollars in food and beverage sales. Design is a commercial tool before it is anything else.
