Howards Cantina

Continuing our 14 year old relationship with the multi-award-winning Rose of Australia, we were invited back to re-imagine the top floor.

Rebranded Howard’s Cantina in honour of the licensee’s father, the space celebrated personality, creativity, and experimentation; all with open-armed hospitality to creating a sense of place and belonging - key qualities that transformed this traditional boozer into the much loved quirky local gem it is.

A close collaboration between client and designer ensured the personality of the client found expression in custom designed and curated pieces of distinction in a flexible and functional layout.

Flexible modular furniture and custom joinery pieces created a variety of configuration possibilities. 

Décor selections pursued a contemporary raw authenticity with casual character, art and irreverence -qualities this inner urban local is famous for.
