LUSSO TAPAS
Completed 2012
1The brief: A mix of old and new design, to compliment the Mediterranean flavours and cultures of the menu design and food the perfect couple! Lusso Tapas is a mature venue with stylish edge. Inviting guests to dine and indulge in a comfortable setting, where dining on the Tapas Bar is welcomed and lazing around the banquet is encouraged!
2Design features such as back lit Wine Cages from floor to ceiling to mask the walls, complimented the black concrete floors and penny mosaics. Streetscape dining on a stainless steel bar alongside a recycled brick wall, each selected individually from a brick yard, some from graffiti buildings, some from burnt down houses; to achieve the desired effect of “aged and edgy” were some of the design features brought to fruition by Technical Works and their passion for attention to detail.
An extremely tight program to work over the holiday closure period as well as the constraints of working within a shopping complex presented us with many challenges through out this project. Working hours, deliveries and subcontractors coordination all had to be specifically and tightly programmed and executed perfectly. This project didn’t come with the flexibility of a normal “residential project”. Working within an existing building envelope of a shopping centre and coordinating with its own existing services was like working on a jigsaw puzzle and piecing it all together.
3 “The menu supports the concept… The gathering of friends, the commitment to catchment dining reducing escapism to the Sydney City CBD and established suburbs. This increased and magnified the designs role to contend with City dining. Technical Works delivered an overall design and construct that would bring our vision to life. We are thrilled with the results and currently enjoy the success Lusso Tapas as brought us”
