Concept Development
Rolling Greens reflects the heart and soul of a natural and relaxed scene, showcased in a friendly and open environment. A uniform space coupled with recyclable materiality was imperative to the brief. Upon, entry patrons will be greeted by a central custom-designed bar that will exude fun and highlight the native elements of the space. The bar is surrounded by Antique Mosaic tiles paired with recycled Timber, Chevron Joinery that will be constructed separately from the wall to allow natural light to travel around and through the bar to the seating area.
​
Dispersed throughout, a series of custom-designed pendants, shaped from handmade bamboo, will layer the characteristics of the cafe.

Floor Plan
Bar Sketch
The floor plan is designed to ensure all patrons have a different view of the bar, while being able to gain a view from the exterior landscape of Shelly Park. The faint lines surrounding the bar will be a platform to create a focal point of the materiality and emphasis of the surrounding joinery.
