Cala

Project type: Hospitality
Project Size: 206M2
Project Completion Date: SEPTEMBER 2024

BRIEF:

Deliver a modern and contemporary food and beverage experience for the iconic Winston Hills Hotel.

 

EXPERIENCE:

Respecting the hotel’s existing mid-century and Japanese-inspired architecture, we preserved most of the original floors and layout. Nostalgic design elements – like the original Frank Lloyd Wright wall lights – were retained and served as inspiration for the structural forms throughout the interiors. The existing fireplace was also preserved and enhanced, creating intimate, fire-side cocoons for guests to enjoy.

The space tells the story of a worldly muse – a glamorous traveller who collects objet d’art and stories from across the globe. Her love of Asian-fusion and mid-century design weaves its way through the venue, reflecting her passions for music, fashion, art, and cuisine.

Cala is a space to revel in indulgence, where rich flavours and sparkling moments meet, and tales of adventures are shared.
