A refined hospitality interior design for 4 Pines Brewing Co. in Brisbane, transforming a heritage-listed venue into a rustic space that embodies sustainable design and an unpretentious vibe, featuring reclaimed materials and intimate seating areas.

Hospitality Interior Design - Brisbane - 115 sqm

​

At the base of the well-known Nomads Hostel and just a small stroll from Central Station on Edward Street is a relatively unassuming venue previously known as Z-Bar. Located below the Nomads Hostel and fronting the hugely popular Down Under Bar, the venue showed great potential for a unique hospitality interior design. With the client looking for something more refined for a discerning city crowd, a partnership with 4 Pines Brewing Co. blossomed.

As the site was heritage listed, we encountered certain challenges along the way. However the building provided a wealth of historical layering and features for Cradle to work with. Although the proposed exposed brick by removal of plaster on existing columns was not supported, the Nomads owners were exceptionally determined and sourced a brick slip cladding system which was indiscernible from the original exposed brick wall.

The existing hospitality interior design needed some work but essentially ‘the bones’ were there with concrete & timber floors, exposed brick walls and an original hand painted sign proudly instructing patrons to ‘Drink More Milk’. After a brief renovation period, the venue was transformed into a rustic rocking boozer with reclaimed railway sleepers for tables, timber clad bar and keg stools, with guitar laden tunes playing over the sound system, which encompassed the 4 Pines Brewing ethos – unpretentious vibe, personable service model and an eye towards  sustainable hospitality design

​

The bar layot design of the space remained largely unchanged and the existing bar & banquette seating was refreshed with new cladding and fabric selections. A metal gantry in blackened steel was located above the bar and styled with ‘growler bottles’ and festoon lighting. Two large timber railway sleeper tables opposite the bar can accommodate up to 11 patrons each, while smaller existing ‘nooks’ were fitted out with timber shelves and high seating which allowed for more intimate spaces.

“In close collaboration with local and global teams, Blis appointed Cradle Design to design, manage and bring to life our first Australian workplace. Cradle was involved from strategy, through to delivery and post-occupancy, ensuring the objectives and design of the workplace were met. Located within the iconic Sydney suburb of Woolloomooloo, the space is aligned with our vibrant culture and provides a variety of settings for our staff to engage with colleagues and customers. The workplace is designed to flex and grow in parallel to the business and has become integral to developing the business and attracting talented employees. We found Cradle and the team personally accessible, highly flexible and inspiring to work with - we couldn't have done it without them!”
