Inside, intermediate walls have been removed to create an immediate sense is of spaciousness.  Light floods in through skylights in the restored roof and tall windows on all sides.  The original brick walls and steel roof trusses were carefully restored and complemented with new stained ash wood panelling and banquet seating.  Conceptually, a graphic horizon line defines the space further as a dado, with a clean, airy impression above, and a durable tangle of activity below set against a rich RAF blue.

By incorporating many of the building’s original features, we retained the building’s historic character, even recreating the building’s dilapidated timber office booths to form intimate and private spaces within the otherwise large open plan dining space.
