Oak and Vine is an innovative concept to traditional inner city bar/restaurant design. The tenancy has been transformed from a pokey bar into a vibrant 'place to be'. Innovative use of timber and vibrant colours and design elements were used to create a sensational socialising experience. 

Existing street glazing within the space incorporated large sliding panels which were the inspiration behind creating a 'winter garden' deck dining experience. Extensive use of timber, greenery and variable windows to this space combine to provide a casual, flexible patron area. This space also provides the transition between the street pedestrians and the internal bar. 

Internally, the fit out provides a signature bar incorporating stone, timber, and metal emphasised with specialty lighting. Operable bi-fold doors allow the merge of dining and guest waiting areas, thus creating separate spaces with visual connections.
