Communal tables down the middle, with the clad box holding the plan together.

A stone-faced tower marks the door in an otherwise flat street elevation.

Offcuts in a dozen colours, laid around a plain painted door.

Stools the full length of it, under the diagonal boarding.

Bottles on a single shelf, lit by pendants hung off the structure.

Planting and a live-edge counter where the room turns toward the dining floor.

The glazing is left uncovered, so the room is lit by the street until dark.

A single slab set against the window, with the ceiling open above it.

The long bar under diagonal timber cladding, with a woven banquette and high tables in front of it.

Rows of timber tables and cross-back chairs along the tall street windows, under exposed ductwork.

Stools along a red-painted bar front, running the length of the room under pendants hung from the open ceiling.

A room within the room, clad in diagonal reclaimed boards with a steel-framed window and a white stripe across it.
