WhAT WE DID

Following the success of the Cambridge site, we created a larger Hamilton restaurant that embraces the same energetic, heritage-inspired aesthetic. Collaborating with local artists, we blended cultural elements with a modern New Zealand twist.

 

Location: Hamilton CENTRAL

Date: 2021

Expanding on the Cambridge success, we designed the larger Hamilton restaurant to celebrate the same cultural identity while introducing a more dynamic, spacious layout. Collaboration with local artists enriched the environment with authentic, handcrafted elements. Through thoughtful zoning, bespoke joinery and bold yet balanced colour and material choices, we created a dining experience that feels immersive, expressive and cohesive across both sites.
