Steer Bar & Grill

Olsen Hotel, Chapel Street, South Yarra - 574m2 Located beneath South Yarra’s boutique art series Olsen hotel, Steer may be untraditional but it is set to have the reputation as the hottest restaurant on the block with its distinct style of food, design and atmosphere, with something for everyone depending on the mood, budget or time. Dasch Associates’ brief was to push the limits of expectation. To meet the brief, we designed the space to be warmly and dramatically lit, used the play with textures, light and shade to create the drama for the backdrop then worked to get unexpected vistas through the space to influence your dining experience.
