Overview
Delivering Multiple Hospitality Venues Across Australia
BSE partnered with Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group and Design Partnership Australia to deliver multiple Meat & Wine Co restaurants across Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, and Adelaide. Each venue reflects a consistent brand identity inspired by African symbolism, requiring careful integration of building services within highly defined interior environments.
The projects encompassed a range of building typologies, introducing varied constraints across locations. The Adelaide restaurant is housed within a heritage-listed building, requiring sensitive design of intake and exhaust louvres to minimise impact on the façade. The Canberra restaurant, located at 1 Constitution Place, sits within a new CBD development, where services were coordinated to align with the interior design intent within a contemporary base building environment.
Across all venues, design responses were tailored to the specific requirements of each site while maintaining consistency in operational performance and customer experience.
Our Role
Building Services Delivery Across a National Hospitality Program
BSE provided mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and fire protection services across all restaurant locations, including design, documentation, and construction support.
Key design considerations included kitchen exhaust and make-up air systems, trade waste design, and integration with bespoke interior elements, alongside responses to heritage and site-specific constraints.
BSE also supported the rollout through a standardised national design approach, providing early-stage input on site selection and assessing power availability, kitchen exhaust requirements, and grease drainage capacity to inform project viability and delivery.
Outcomes
Consistent Hospitality Environments Delivered Across Multiple Locations
The completed restaurants deliver functional and visually distinct environments that align with the Meat & Wine Co brand across all locations.
Building services were integrated to support both operational requirements and interior design intent, accommodating variations in building type and site constraints.
Lessons from earlier projects informed subsequent locations, supporting consistency in delivery and improving efficiency across the rollout of new venues.
