Carine Thai

An authentic hospitality experience.


The Carine Thai Cuisine project focused on creating a functional and welcoming dining environment within a compact tenancy, balancing spatial efficiency with a comfortable and cohesive customer experience.


Working within a limited footprint, the layout was carefully planned to support both front-of-house dining and back-of-house operations, while maintaining a clear and intuitive flow throughout the space.


The design centred on optimising key areas, including customer seating, service zones, and kitchen support spaces. Circulation was considered to ensure smooth movement for both staff and guests, allowing the space to operate efficiently during peak service periods.


Lighting and shopfront elements were introduced to strengthen the presence of the restaurant within the centre, contributing to a more inviting and defined identity.



The result is a well-resolved fitout that maximises usability within the available space, supporting efficient operations while delivering a comfortable dining experience.

Designed around how the family lives today, the Floreat Home prioritizes openness, light, and connection. Strategic changes to the layout transformed both the atmosphere and functionality of the space. The kitchen now sits confidently at the heart of a home built for shared living. The Floreat Home had reached a point where its layout no longer supported the way the family lived. Cramped living areas, limited natural light, and a weak connection to the outdoors made the home feel closed off despite its potential. The owners were seeking a more open and connected environment, with the kitchen playing a central role in everyday life. The design focused on breaking down internal barriers, allowing spaces to flow naturally and encouraging interaction across the home.  By removing walls and introducing new glazing, light was drawn deeper into the plan, transforming both the atmosphere and functionality of the interior. The reconfigured kitchen now anchors the open living areas, operating as a true family hub rather than a separate workspace. The renovation delivers a cohesive, light-filled home that supports connection, comfort, and long-term performance, while significantly improving the way the space is experienced day to day.
