design: BKH
The stunning transformation of Sydney’s historic CarriageWorks continues with the arts centre, now home to a white, bright and welcoming restaurant. John and Peter Canteen is a catering business that has expanded to serve lunch and dinner.
BKH has designed a space with white fringe trim hangs from scaffolding and studio lights and there are striking black and white print cushions and stripey banquettes. It’s a glamorous yet comforatble affair.
Iain Halliday of BKH has referenced 1970s domestic spaces within a rustic industrial shell. Surfaces are deliberately fresh and predominantly white with strong black and white graphic patterns in
A central, round Carrara marble-topped table acts as a foil to the otherwise square tables in the main dining area to prevent the space feeling overdesigned.
