Bistro Verde
Optus Campus, North Ryde
Completion: September 20, 2007
Area: 408m2
The brief was driven by the fact that the client needed a space for busy lunch times that would service the large surrounding Optus complex, as well as have the ability to turn into a bar/venue at night.
This combined, we opted to keep the overall space open so the areas could flow and interact with each other during busy meal times but have distinct pods within the main space for other times of the day or night. We created this separation with the use of aesthetics, furniture styles and bulkheads above.
Finally the interior finishes such as, the natural timbers and grass weave paper lights reflect the outdoors and surrounding landscaping of the campus and assist in merging the large outdoor seating and BBQ area with the internal dining.
