ROSSINI
GEORGE STREET SYDNEY
“ This is the third venue you have designed for our group and it’s the best one yet! Peter and the DesignFocus team have again exceeded our expectations with this brilliant new cafe”.
Carlo La Rosa, Founder & CEO
Italian Fast Food Cafe
The third lunch cafe we designed for Mr Carlo LaRosa - adopting the Italian “Rosticceria” style - for fresh Italian fast food.
Our contemporary design, gave this 100 year old 4 storey-terrace building, sandwiched between high-rise buildings on George Street Sydney, a new life.
The cafe spread over 3 levels, with the kitchen, retail counters and cashier being on the ground floor. The first floor featured a bespoke clock recessed into the wall, a vaulted ceiling with concealed lighting and custom moulded glass wall sconces. The basement was primarily for functions, but also acted as an overflow area.
Original timbers from the site were salvaged and recycled, and used for the treads of the contemporary glass, steel and timber staircase to the first floor and for the custom stools and bench tops on the ground floor.
