DOC Surry Hills
Pizza & Mozzarella Bar Sydney
WHEN WE DESIGNED THIS NEW LOCATION FOR DOC GROUP, WE HAD IN MIND THE NARROW STREETS OF ITALY, AND THE INTIMATE EXPERIENCE OF DINING IN ROME, MILAN OCH VENICE. WE DESIGNED THE INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE, THE FURNITURE AS WELL THE GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR THEIR PROCECCO BRAND AND WE HANDMADE CERAMIC BOWLS FOR THEIR FAMOUS APERITIVO PLATE.
Initial Concept
AS YOU ENTER THE RESTAURANT THE CENTERPIECE OF THIS NARROW SPACE IS A STONE BAR, WITH CURVED DETAILS AND 2 TYPES OF STONE. MIXING THE CLASSIC TRAVERTINE WITH AN ITALIAN MARBLE STONE, JUXTAPOSITION THEIR TONES AND QUALITIES. ABOVE THE BAR AND BEHIND THE BAR ARE VARIATIONS OF STEEL SHELVINGS, SOME IN OLIVE GREEN POWDER COATING WITH MIRRORED BACKING AND SOME ABOVE THE BAR IN SIMPLE BLACKED STAINED STEEL, FULL OF WINES. THE RESTAURANT WALLS ARE A MIX BETWEEN THE OLD AND THE NEW, WITH THE LIME-WASHED RED BRICK WALL BEING THE ORIGINAL WALL FROM THE OLD BUILDING, AND THE FORMED CONCRETE BEING THE NEW MODERN TAKE ON DESIGN.
