Pattern Studio has unveiled their scheme for Three Blue Ducks’ newest venue at Australia’s premier surf park, Urbnsurf in Melbourne. After previously designing the interiors throughout the precinct, the studio explains they were tasked to create the group’s largest and most operationally complex restaurant to date. 

The 400-seat restaurant is indeed an expansive undertaking, yet the design ensures that diners will feel comfortable both dropping in for a coffee or enjoying a full-service dinner with friends. Pattern Studio describes the final result as “a warm and tactile semi-industrial space richly layered with natural materials, colours and textures.”

Australian blackbutt timber covers the walls and floors on the upper mezzanine level, while Shou Sugi Ban charred timber colours the walls and bar fronts on the ground floor. The warmth that comes from these natural materials sits in juxtaposition to the harshness of concrete and steel, creating interiors that feel fresh and contemporary.

“The interiors feel of the moment without being overly trendy, this commitment to timeless, quality design echo’s the client’s progressive sustainable practices,” Pattern Studio explains.
