The Corner Dairy bar and coffee shop fit out holds a special place in our hearts with so many custom handmade finishes throughout. The space was converted from an old office building which required extensive demolition and structural modifications. These modifications opened the space up into the light and bright venue it is today.

13m structural steel beams and close to half of the existing concrete slab were required to be removed to bring the beautiful design from Ohlo Studio to life in the 70’s era building.

A new commercial kitchen, bar, and bathrooms were constructed. This included the associated services being brought into the premises wrapped in some of DeCo’s finest timber work to date. The shop fit out surfaces throughout are meticulously thought through. With many surfaces constructed with solid Victorian Ash timber and beautiful plantation oak veneers.

Polished concrete floors and textured walls complement the Woodwool and timber strapped ceilings creating a beautiful internal space.

We worked with Ribiri Joinery on the slim profile timber windows and doors. These doors and windows bring the two spaces together and really transformed the facade.

Externally the major works consisted of custom Glulam beams and timber slat fencing, shade sails and stainless steel wires for the ornamental grapevines to climb. New silver top decking with custom-made bench seats and textured brick walls offer a beautiful contrast to the timber.

Internally, the use of brown mosaic tiles and hardwood provide the warmth to offset the polished concrete floors. Many man-hours went into the enclosed fireplace creating a seamless solid tiled cube to enjoy a glass of red wine on the cold evenings.

Do yourself a favour and head down to check out this stunning bar and coffee shop fit out and to enjoy the outstanding food and drinks on offer.

The Coffee bi-fold window gives the client the option to close one side if the weather is coming in from the wrong direction. Serving amazing coffee from 6:30am - 11am everyday

This place is made for summer. We cant wait to see it once the grape vines climb up the support wires and onto the timber structure.

The venue looks fantastic when its bathed in its usual sunshine and twilight when the lighting comes into its own

Great mix of finishes and textures which will stand up the the rigours of a hospitality venue

Custom made slimline awning windows open with the slightest push and easy to close with the gas strut integration

The original specification was to reinstall the existing corrugated sheeting to the awnings but we wanted to give the client a much warmer finish so supplied and installed this hardwood ply sheeting which was the perfect fit for the venue

The council wanted to engage the side street so we constructed this brick paved stair to the Woodside St elevation

Seamless timber joinery work creating no visible fixings and strength for the shade sails

All lines lead to main bar with the operable awning windows opening onto the alfresco beyond

The two sided bar creates ample working space to provide service to the alfresco and main area.

We used the existing structural beams as a feature and set the centralised kitchen structure out to line up with these existing details

Extensive set-out and time was spent on this unit to ensure full tiles to all faces and mitered corners creating a perfect cube for the in built fire place
