Project Information
The Fink Group’s Quay Restaurant is one of Australia’s most awarded and celebrated restaurants. Internationally, Quay has made the prestigious ‘World’s 50 Best Restaurant’ list for five consecutive years.
The harbour-side restaurant is set to close its doors in April 2018 to undergo a refurbishment. Alongside plans to reinvigorate the menu, the owners are facilitating a long-held desire to revamp the current fit out, in an effort to enhance the personal dining experience.
The brief is to create intimate dining pockets (including a personal dining room) and to improve wait staff circulation paths and service areas. The fit-out will feature new finishes, joinery, furniture, kitchen and bar equipment and a new bathroom to the upper floor, suspended above an existing void.

- Procurement and direct management of a fit-out contractor under a proposed Construction Management arrangement.
