As wood was a major part of the aesthetic it had to be beautiful and functional. The grain, width, colour and finish all gave a sense of warmth. The feeling of wood and the effect on the senses way key and provided that all-important connection between the brand and the natural world.

Havwoods Amazon Wide Plank from the Venture Plank range was selected for the floors in both the restaurant and the retail space. This product is a natural light looking wood that displayed the brand's superior quality without being showy.

To envelope the customers in a truely immersive experience, a complimentary Havwoods product was specified for interior walls and ceilings which worked perfectly with the stone feature walls throughout. Columba Plank from Havwoods' The Italian Collection can be utilised for both flooring and cladding.

The resulting project is set over two levels on a corner block with the retail and restaurant occupying the ground floor. On the second story there is a more relaxed bar, private dining room and cocktail space all opening onto the large wrap around balcony.

This unique project delivered a seamless shopping and dining experience unique to the Brisbane setting and is sure to be a success well into the future.
