We begin with a no-nonsense timber shed, site office, tool chest, and mess hall rolled into one waterfront workhorse.

As the precinct matures, sliding walls uncork the plan and the canteen reboots as Hobart’s front-row ferry lounge, café, co-working loft, and restaurant.

Boards sawn from Tasmanian lake timber sheath the building like a reclaimed hull, turning circular economy into visible craft.

From dawn commuters to sunset diners, everyone gets the same reward: the island’s finest produce plated against its finest panorama of the Derwent.
