Winners of the 2020 Eat Drink Design Awards announced

December 2, 2020 Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

The winners of this year’s โ€‹Eat Drink Design Awards have been revealed, and – in a year that has been incredibly turbulent and uncertain for the hospitality industry – the celebration of these spaces seems more important than ever. In addition, the challenges of this period have themselves greatly affected the emerging designs of restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels, temporary venues, and retail spaces. These awards have therefore focused on recognising the spaces that bring comfort, delight, a sense of place, community, and communion.

Cassie Hansen, editor of โ€‹Artichoke and Eat Drink Design Award jury chair, says; โ€œFrom a natural wine room in Adelaide, reminiscent of a classic European bar, to an Art Deco style hotel exuding old-world elegance, this yearโ€™s award winners evoked a nostalgia for the past. Pining for the days when we could visit our favourite restaurants, cafes, and bars, the jury was drawn to venues with sentimentality and tradition at their core, but executed in a contemporary way.”

This push for spaces that are comforting and familiar has resulted in many of the winning designs featuring historic venues that have been reimagined to suit contemporary dining needs. Some of the most successful entries also focused on bold colour, playful touches, and unique materiality. In addition, the shift away from spaces with views and expansive vistas allowed for the prioritisation of an โ€œinward focusโ€, and brought the jury’s attention to the food and overall dining experience.

Best Bar Design: Leigh Street Wine Room by Studio Gram (Adelaide, SA)

Image: Josie Withers

With its timeless European style, Leigh Street Wine Room on Adelaideโ€™s most happening eat street feels like a classic already, according to the jury. Built on the site of a former dry cleaning business (the original signage remains intact), the ultra-narrow footprint has been artfully overhauled by local firm Studio Gram on an impressively compact budget.

Image: Josie Withers

The jury admire the clever design for creating a cosy room that has an immediately welcoming vibe, and cocoons its customers with feelings of warmth and intimacy. A dazzling vaulted archway integrates a mezzanine level over the terrazzo bar, while a library of more than 400 bottles of minimal-intervention wine fills an entire wall, showcasing what this place does best.

Best Restaurant Design: (Joint Winner) Poly by Anthony Gill Architects (Surry Hills, NSW)

Image: Clinton Weaver

Hotel restaurants can sometimes be an afterthought, but Mat Lindsayโ€™s austerely chic Poly, in the basement of the Paramount House Hotel in Sydneyโ€™s Surry Hills, stands apart as a destination in its own right. Located on a semi-subterranean inner-city corner, the fitout responds intelligently to a difficult site. Featuring a sweeping bar and a daringly exposed open kitchen, the jury appreciate the restraint and timelessness of this design.

Image: Clinton Weaver

Communal tables, exposed utilities, raw brick and polished concrete make for a sparse, industrial, yet absolutely on-the-pulse spot to dine. The layering of these textures – and the unconventional “popcorn” ceiling – establish mood and interest. The jury adore the way in which this vision from Anthony Gill Architects is beautifully resolved and elegant in its simplicity.

Best Restaurant Design: (Joint Winner) Osteria Tedesca by Cox Architecture (Red Hill, VIC)

Image: Jaime Broadway

This deeply personal labour of love for chef Brigitte Hafner winningly captures the warmth and relaxed hospitality of a domestic kitchen. The jury commended the immersive open-plan space in Victoriaโ€™s Red Hill wine region, which encourages guests to engage in the experience as if they were in their own homes. Hafnerโ€™s blackened cooking staton – loosely based on a carpenterโ€™s workbench – sits in front of a woodfired brick hearth, where she presents a new menu each day based on seasonal produce sourced from the property.

Image: Tommy Miller

The original building, set amid a spectacular rural landscape, has been sensitively modernised by Hafnerโ€™s partner, architect Patrick Ness of Cox Architecture, and provides a complete, holistic escape from a busy world. The remarkably unfussy, functional design facilitates a focus on sustainability and longevity at every level.

Best Cafรฉ Design: There Cafe by Ewert Leaf (Footscray, VIC)

Image: Jenah Piwanski

Housed in a 19th century wool store that was previously known as the longtime headquarters of book publisher Lonely Planet in Melbourneโ€™s Footscray, There Cafรฉ makes dramatic yet sensitive use of its heritage location. Executed with impressive restraint by Ewert Leaf, the jury love this buzzing, inner-west meeting spot.

Image: Jenah Piwanski

Premium finishes share a subtle, uniform colour palette, with steel beams, leather banquettes, polished concrete and industrial light fittings accentuating the soaring, almost floor-to-ceiling windows that draw in waves of natural light. The softness of the design plays off the grandness of the original building, and the jury love the way in which rich textures and discoverable layers feel natural, giving an easy sensibility and sophistication to the venue.

One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavet One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavetimeforthis, turns out former Neighbours actor @gemma_peanut is even more multi-talented than we thought! Will you check out the joyful and colourful reno of her holiday home (and airbnb) @yo_caba_caba?!

Head over to the blog via link in bio to read all about why she went bold and full of pattern in this project, which is a stark contrast to her zen and neutral Northern Beaches abode.

There's also plenty of details about where things are from etc.

"Iโ€™m not an interior designer so I just chose what I liked and followed my gut. Ultimately this home has been an opportunity to explore my alter ego โ€“ it allowed me to do things that I wouldnโ€™t normally do.โ€

Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial family category and they're a special gift. So ends three weeks with @danisteve81 who left her husband and son in the UK (I'm forever grateful they lent her to me!) to come and cheer me up and help me in the most practical ways after I spent Christmas and New Year in hospital. There were tears and I miss her so much already but how amazing to have had all that time together as adults. Such a rare treat and would never have happened without having been through something so challenging. Silver linings and all that. So many other friends have also been incredibly thoughtful and kind. There aren't many times I'd say this without cringing but I am 100% blessed!

I still cannot believe we have been friends since we were 12! 12! Are you still close with your childhood besties?
The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_ho The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_house is a work of art and while almost every surface was updated, the decision to keep the original slate floor was genius if you ask us. 

Owner @clarehillier__ says: "With its purple, pink, red and brown tones, the slate was the starting point for our interior palette."

Come and check out the before and afters via link in bio now and read the reno story. It's a real beauty.

And you can book it for your next holiday too!

Hello friends! Just thought I'd say hi. Two weeks Hello friends! Just thought I'd say hi. Two weeks since leaving hospital and I'm doing much better than I expected to be at this early stage. A long recovery road ahead but making progress in how much I can move my arm and although I drag myself through some days non-stop yawning, others I can go for a little walk or out for lunch before collapsing on the couch! I can now tie my own hair back and put on a real bra which is very exciting ๐Ÿคฃ Having my bestie here to help us with the boys, drive me places and just be brilliant positive company is the best thing I could have asked for not to mention the many Dinner Ladies vouchers from friends!

I definitely feel like a statistic now but hoping I definitely feel like a statistic now but hoping to raise some awareness off the back of my misfortune (and also very lucky escape).

@newsouthwaleshealth have just put out this warning about a rise in serious bacterial infections. iGAS (invasive group A streptococcus) is what caused my necrotising fasciitis and sepsis.

Apparently there's similar happening in VIC too.

It's extremely rare but very serious nonetheless so please have a read and be aware of symptoms. I've linked to the article from a button via my link in bio.

While new technologies continue to shape the inter While new technologies continue to shape the interior design scene, one that has been getting a fair bit of traction of late isย marble-look porcelain. A cheaper alternative to natural stone, the latest printed porcelain tile technology makes it difficult to distinguish from the real thing.

Founded by husband and wife duo Anton and Rita Bourtsev, Sydneyโ€™s @kaolintiles has a unique offering in this space with over 100 different marble-look tile designs in small and large formats.
