Corporate Culture


The design for Stokehouse Queensland draws from the qualities of the architecture. The architectural intent for the building was for a built form which embodies an experience and expression unique to Queensland. The initial premise for the design of the restaurant was to "re-interpret" the architectural intent of the existing building and precinct specifically for the Stokehouse.

The local interpretation of the brand brought a clear focus on the idea of the urban "riversedge". The architecturally folded roof is emphasised by the interior and strengthened it through the use of the "wall" as a

device and backdrop to the restaurant spaces. This concept allowed us to explore notions of narrative and sequencing through the restaurant. It gives the opportunity to create a number of distinct experiences as you journey through the building.

The spline wall (solid timber spotted gum battens on bendy ply frame) is the sculptural intervention which is the physical incarnation of these ideas. It holds the bar and travels through the centre of the space, accentuating and celebrating this edge by the river. It is the abstraction of the timber battened vernacular of Queensland domestic architecture, creating movement and humanising the scale of the space.

Stokehouse Brisbane houses a bar/lounge area, a formal though understated dining room, a functions room at the mezzanine, outdoor deck spaces, as well as all of the kitchen, plant, and back of house areas that a restaurant of this scale and reputation would require. Address, approach, and architectural integrity are maintained through sensitive interrogation of the existing building and the potential of the site.

The design seeks to present the Stokehouse within a uniquely Brisbane setting, whilst embodying the relaxed elegance of the St Kilda restaurant.
