In Sydney, this loft-style restaurant has become a social hub for the local community.
For Australian design practice Alexander & Co, there was nothing glamorous about this project at first sight. But the great potential of the space was an immediate source of inspiration for the team, who transformed it into a stylish restaurant.
With the makeover having been completed, what initially convinced the interior designers to take on the challenge is now clear to see.
The Park House Food Merchants is nestled in the newly renovated Mona Vale Hotel, in the beautiful city of Sydney. “This was an adaptivereuse project involving a heavily dilapidated motel structure,” the team says.
Alexander & Co was given the task of designing the 600 sq m area. The team decided to create different spaces and nooks, providing areas that would offer a variety of dining experiences and ambience, while tying them all together.
