Family owned and operated Cafe & Bistro

Design and Project Managment

Common Grounds was envisioned as more than a cafe, it is the living room of Harmony. It was designed to encourage guests to slow down, connect, and savour the moment over a morning cappuccino and muffin, or a shared charcuterie board and an evening glass of wine. The space balances refined sophistication with approachable warmth.

Expansive windows flood the cafe with natural light, while textured brick, custom millwork, and rich wood tones ground the design to blend function and comfort. Flexible seating, from plush lounge chairs to communal stools at the counter, there is a space for everyone and it is a true social anchor for the community.

A tired office space reimagined into a multifunctional employee lounge “The Caddy Shack”

Design & project managment

This lounge is a celebration of the commitment to employee wellness and workplace experience. It is a space where employees can recharge, build connections, and enjoy moments of play.

The design features a custom state of the art golf simulator as the central focus, supported by a range of entertainment zones including shuffle board, darts, and a dedicated poker room. A fully equipped kitchen and bar anchors the space offering oversized built in banquette seating to create a warm and social environment for informal gatherings.

An urban destination in the heart of beloved Currie Barracks

From historic stronghold to culinary powerhouse — a military building reimagined as a collaborative food and beverage destination, a tasting room, and a distilling classroom.

This landmark project unites the craftsmanship of Burwood Distillery with the creativity of Vacay Brewing, forging a one-of-a-kind restaurant, tasting room, and distilling classroom under one roof. The result? A multi-sensory hub for dining, sipping, learning, and gathering — unlike anything else in the region.

The design layers authentic heritage character with modern hospitality flair. Raw industrial bones are celebrated and enhanced through custom millwork, bespoke furnishings, and artful detailing. Anchoring the space, a show-stopping honey bee mural and distressed I-beams — created in collaboration with local artist Reagan McLean — infuse storytelling and texture at every turn.
