Project Eight
“Indochine Café
”
Courtyard & Restroom
Transforming a commercial space into an enchanting Indochine café courtyard and restroom, we delivered a complete turnkey solution—from interior design and fit-out to custom detailing—in the heart of Charing Cross, Waverley.
Interior Design
The design masterfully blends the exotic allure of Indochine style with timeless French elegance, creating a lush, holiday-inspired tropical escape in an urban setting. Dark timber accents and palm decorative screens provide warmth, privacy, and texture while allowing dappled light to filter through, paired with abundant lush planting that evokes a serene, resort-like atmosphere all year round.
Key solutions tailored to the client’s needs:
Tropical yet sophisticated ambiance
Rich Indochine influences—dark timbers, intricate palm screens, and verdant greenery—are elegantly combined with refined French detailing to deliver a balanced retreat that feels both exotic and effortlessly chic.
Courtyard maximisation
Privacy and flow
Year-round holiday vibe
Family-friendly restroom design
The Indochine aesthetic continues seamlessly into the restroom, offering a calm and luxurious extension of the café experience. Thoughtful inclusions such as a dedicated nappy-changing table and comfortable breastfeeding chair provide essential amenities while upholding complete privacy for parents and young families.
Cohesive brand expression
Every element, from custom joinery to planting design, was tailored to reflect the client’s vision of relaxed luxury, reinforcing the venue’s unique identity.
Digital & Brand Extension
Where required, we extend the Indochine aesthetic into digital and printed brand touchpoints, ensuring consistency across menus, signage, and online presence to deepen customer connection.

This thoughtful end-to-end service not only meets the practical demands of a busy venue but exceeds expectations, creating an inviting, memorable space that feels expansive, tranquil, and uniquely tailored.
