The Growers Shoalhaven

Project type: Hospitality
Project Size: 2500M2
Project Completion Date: DECEMBER 2020

BRIEF:
TO CREATE A CONTEMPORARY AND CASUAL INDOOR-OUTDOOR BAR AND EATERY, EMBRACING THE SOUTH COAST LIFESTYLE; WHERE COAST MEETS COUNTRY.

EXPERIENCE:
SITUATED AMONGST ROLLING HILLS AND WITH A HINT OF THE SEA IN THE AIR, THE GROWERS FEELS LIKE A BEACH-SIDE HOLIDAY, BUT ONE THAT IS STEADFASTLY COUNTRY, REMINDING US OF OUR RURAL AUSTRALIAN SETTING.

“It is with pleasure that I provide a testimonial for Pony Design from our experiences with The Growers Shoalhaven project.
From the early stages, the team engaged collaboratively with the Board and management of the venue to create a stunning conceptual package for consideration and further refinement. The concept was built using detailed feedback from member focus groups and strategy direction.
Pony maintained excellent communication throughout the project via on site visitations and video conferencing. We felt our ideas were genuinely considered and workshopped to be incorporated into the design. The team stayed focused throughout the build and participated in regular construction meetings to ensure their vision was being realised. The concept has fit the brief perfectly highlighting country charm and warmth coupled with modern, on trend design elements. The feedback from members and visitors alike has been amazing. Other venue operators have been keenly assessing our success and the venue has been compared to top Sydney venues which is very humbling.
As well, for us, the versatility of the spaces to be able to extend and rationalise dependent on demand has allowed us to create wonderful functions and event opportunities and efficiencies with resources deployment.”
