Restaurants and cafes are judged in seconds. The fit-out sets the mood and has to survive a busy service every day.
The counter is the stage
In many cafes and sushi bars, the counter is the centre of the room. Its materials, lighting and display shape the whole experience.
Back of house matters
Kitchen layout, extraction, plumbing and power need early coordination with equipment suppliers and the relevant approvals.
Build for cleaning
Hospitality spaces are cleaned constantly. Joins, edges and surfaces should be designed with that in mind.
Our Australian network has built hospitality spaces in Australia, including Akira Sushi.
