First Mates Last Laugh
About
“Our client and her team were keen to create a buzzing waterfront bar and restaurant in Auckland’s Westhaven Marina. With an approachable menu with a nod to the coastal aspect, while the interior needed to be relaxed, contemporary and warm with LA & beach club influences. The aim was to create a memorable space with excellent service that’s the hotspot year-round for a wide range of customers, from locals, to tourists, family or professionals. Working with natural feeling materials like French pavers, marble, oak, and hues drawn from the surrounding harbour giving the bistro a tactile relaxed and fun feeling that brings a residential vibe. We chose VidaSpace timber flooring as we wanted to capture that sandy laid back LA feeling, and their Dawn colour was the perfect match to that coastal aesthetic.”
