Pattern Studio has unveiled their scheme for Three Blue Ducks’ newest venue at Australia’s premier surf park, Urbnsurf in Melbourne. After previously designing the interiors throughout the precinct, the studio explains they were tasked to create the group’s largest and most operationally complex restaurant to date. The brief called for
“a destination venue that would lure Melbourne diners out of the city and into the airport suburb of Tullamarine”. In the process, the Sydney duo has injected soul and character into a commercial space.
The 400-seat restaurant is indeed an expansive undertaking, yet the design ensures that diners will feel comfortable both dropping in for a coffee or enjoying a full-service dinner with friends. The studio explains that their response is largely inspired by the raw and energetic soul of surf culture, resulting in a welcoming interior that softens the often-harsh shell of commercial recreational facilities. Pattern Studio describes the final result as
“a warm and tactile semi-industrial space richly layered with natural materials, colours and textures.”
