Golf has always been a passion of the practice’s founder, Peter Sgourakis. Every Friday – rain, hail or shine – he makes his weekly visit to Latrobe Golf Club in Alphington. This 20-year connection was the starting point for our latest project for the club – a dramatic renovation of the member’s bar. Inspired by a gentleman’s lounge from days gone by, we reimagined the member’s bar as a low-key but luxurious space for club members and their guests. Fusing modern design and a keen sense of the classic, our design concept brings together stone panelling, timber battens and brass detailing. Underfoot, a custom tartan carpet in crisp grey and white gives a heritage feel. New furniture was specified too, themed around classic forms and timeless finishes. While the structure has remained largely the same, the bar now occupies a larger footprint. Partition walls allow the interior to be reconfigured as four separate event spaces. In the foyer, new trophy cabinets were arranged under the existing honour boards, retaining the new bar’s connection to the club’s history. Photography: Emily Bartlett

“We had the pleasure of working with Henry and his team at SGKS Arch on the office fit-out for View Media, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From the outset, Henry and his team displayed exceptional attention to detail and a clear understanding of our needs, effectively managing complex stakeholders, the brief, and our budget to deliver a superior product. We had 6 different companies belonging to the one parent company all with different ideas, styles and need across the four floors and somehow Henry and his team managed to satisfy all stakeholders without deviating from the core idea that tied it all together. The fit-out not only met, but exceeded our expectations, creating a modern, functional, and inspiring workspace that truly reflects our brand values. Henry Sgourakis delivered on time, within budget, and with impeccable quality, making the entire process smooth and efficient. We highly recommend their services and look forward to collaborating with him again on future projects.”
