The Restaurant on the Promenade
>
New designs for a three-storey restaurant at Sydney’s Barangaroo South by Collins and Turner have been submitted to the NSW planning department for approval. Collins and Turner won a design competition for the restaurant development in 2013. The form of the building is derived from a series of stacked bowls, which gently curve in plan and section. Located at the southern-most point of Barangaroo, the building will act as a gateway between the existing low-rise Kings Wharf and the 275-metre towers of Barangaroo.
The building is oriented west to capture the afternoon sun and water views. The double-curved building will be made from concrete shells clad in a timber-based material that will cradle rings of vegetation, planted around the edges. The 804-square-metre development will accommodate a pub on the ground floor, restaurant on the first floor and bar on the second floor. The restaurant, which will be operated by celebrity chef Matt Moran, is expect to open along with the launch of the waterfront dining precinct in early 2016.
