Cut Paw Paw Café

Role : Designer and Project Manager

Restoration and extension of a heritage listed building to create a ground floor café and first floor residence. The interior of the café was designed to allow natural light into the previously dark building. This was achieved through the inclusion of a large window into the rear of the café, and interior wall ‘slots’, providing connection between café spaces and allowing for natural light penetration and ventilation. An external seating area was designed to take advantage of the northern orientation. The slab on ground was ground and polished providing thermal mass and an attractive floor finish.

The upstairs residence was designed to take advantage of the views of the West Gate bridge. The original shopfront was restored and reused as the rear bifold glazing for the residence to open onto the balcony.
