The concept for The Kirketon Dining Room & Bar in Sydney is based in the great restaurants and bars of Europe and America built in an era of style comfort and quality. Key priority was to encapsulate the style of Paris and the comfort of New York and yet still incorporating the edgy style of contemporary Sydney restaurant design.

Rigorous functional requirements and intense design collaboration with the client, James Ingram, dictated generous egress for wait staff, soft ambient lighting and the maximising of seating capabilities to match licensing. The kitchen also required upgrading to match the newly expanded seating layout as well as providingroom service to the Hotel guests.

The colour palette is restrained and used in a predominantly structural manner to define areas. Cladding finishes – predominantly black stained American Walnut panelling with brass trim, brass cladding treated with a bronze patina and finely sanded stucco plaster finish polished with bees wax define the palette. The ceiling was repainted in Dulux Deep Onyx to recede and take emphasis away from the relatively low ceiling height.…Unfortunately, This restaurant has closed on 12 February 2007
