Barulho was a small Tapas bar in Parnell. The Client wanted to grow into a Spanish-fusion restaurant but lacked the space.  

The opportunity to carve this space out of the ground floor of the adjacent carparking building was a challenge that we were excited to take on.  

The space that was created embraced the location and left spaces and surfaces with a raw, finish. Remnants of the carparking lines can be seen on the floor, and the plastered walls and handmade finishes were incorporated as a nod to the client’s Argentinian roots.  

Precise coordination and innovative thinking was required to insert services, circulation spaces and a functional commercial kitchen within the confines of a space designed for cars.
