The design takes inspiration from scenes along the Mediterranean coast. Sand coloured Tasmanian Oak, Italian terrazzo, and gentle drapery aim to evoke emotions of nostalgia towards past travels. Ergonomic furniture and acoustic timber ceilings provide the utmost comfort and support.
A methodical approach was taken for the spatial layout, with inspiration drawn from the symmetrical floor plans of European Renaissance Architecture. The layout places the social areas towards the centre, surrounded by a circular array of the more private zones. This approach means areas where the most time is spent have access to the views, evoking a sense of freedom that ensures the best possible working environment.

Le Velo is a hospitality venue that is inspired by the local café and cycling culture. Located at the new Bellagio Wentworth Point Residential Development, the café provides a place for the active locals to gather with their families and friends.
The client's requested a humble and inviting design scheme that facilitated both group and individual seating options. A fully functioning bike repairs studio means the venue may be used as a pitstop for local cyclists who can enjoy a coffee and bite to eat while they wait. High ceilings and industrial textures become a nod towards the factories that once stood on the site.
