he design transformation of Point Chevalier's iconic bank building into a working commercial kitchen and dining space. Extensive considerations and sensitivities came into play with the design, with a focus on honoring the original features, while meeting all the codes and requirements of a modern build. Custom made steel joinery, opening up into an outdoor dining area, Italian marble benches, and restored wood paneling, pay homage to the neoclassical design - with the final vision being a harmonious balance of wabi-sabi old and new world aesthetics. Scope: internal reconfiguration and external addition concept design, resource consent management, developed design, council building consent approval management, on-site monitoring
