This building was built in 1935 by Edmund Anscombe and is listed as a historic Petone building, as such SPACE Architecture had to work within tight restrictions for any alterations. The restaurant required extensive remedial and fit-out work to restore the interior to its former glory. SPACE Architecture worked with the original features and enhanced these with colour and texture. The rejuvenation of the timber panelling to the main dining room, timber floors, windows, doors and ceiling detail is further enhanced with the addition of timber panelled joinery to the front of house and reception areas. A colour palette consisting of warm neutrals and deep coloured patterned wallpaper adds further richness and playful contemporary elements. Light and casual during the day turns to rich and luxurious at night. Awards: Winner: 2009 Resene ADNZ/Resene Regional Architectural Design Award for Commercial Interiors Winner: 2009 Resene ADNZ/Resene Regional Architectural Design Award for Colour in Design

“We would highly recommend Nathan and the team at Space if you are looking at creating your dream house. After several concept meetings, the team helped us evaluate what was important for us in a house and they came back with a home, which we loved the look of and which fitted into our surroundings perfectly. We also loved working with Tushka on the interior, this really took the pressure off when we were building, having all of these things already sorted. It was so much fun having someone come to you with sample suggestions, instead of having to start from scratch. Today, not only do we have a gorgeous house, but a home that suits our family and lifestyle perfectly.”
