Tempo Cafe is a whole foods cafe with a strong connection to the outdoors. The brief was to create a fresh gender neutral space that was understated and timeless. Our design approach is sympathetic to nature with careful consideration applied to materiality, form and tone. Tempo was designed to seamlessly integrate with the landscape in a fresh and contemporary, yet timeless manner. A unique aspect to the design is the soft curved feature wall that backdrops the room whilst screening the bathrooms. A series of dials with sweeping hands were integrated to represent the movement of time, seasons and solar – rotating in sync with these elements. Curves, texture, and natural materials appear throughout – from furniture and joinery to fixtures and inlaid mosaic flooring. All elements tell the same story and sit together to achieve a tranquil and gender-neutral interior.

“We are thrilled with the outcome for St Alma. For us the brief was to create a space that was truly unique, that could stand the test of time. Five foot one did a fantastic job by meshing this with some fresh elements that kept the space relevant while highlighting our beachside location. The public response has far exceeded our expectations in so many ways, six months since opening we are still operating at 95% occupancy. The most frequent comment by patrons after dining with us is they loved the ‘vibe’, for me this highlights the ability of Five Foot One to seamlessly integrate a number of different design elements to elevate the diners experience while they are in our venue, and keep them thinking about it long after. The restaurant has its own gravitational pull. Needless to say we are thrilled with the result, and can’t wait for the next one.”
