Project Nine
“The Sage”

French-Vietnamese Bistro Fit-Out, Paddington

Transforming a commercial space into a vibrant and welcoming bistro, we delivered a complete turnkey solution—from interior design and fit-out through to custom website development and bespoke menu design—in the heart of Paddington.

Interior Design

The design cleverly juxtaposes a luxurious Calcutta marble benchtop with a rustic white brick wall, complemented by driftwood sage mint accents that subtly reference the nearby coastal location. Crisp white stripes against a predominantly white backdrop instantly brighten the space, making it feel twice its actual size while evoking a fresh, breezy seaside vibe within an urban terrace setting.

Key solutions tailored to the client’s needs:

Optimised seating for 20:

A carefully considered layout delivered comfortable seating both indoors and on the exterior, maximising capacity without sacrificing flow or comfort.
Space-saving solutions:

Innovative design elements and multi-functional features make the most of every square metre in this narrow footprint.
Ample hidden storage:

Custom-built joinery keeps the space clutter-free, supporting seamless day-to-day operations.
Light and spacious feel:

Strategic use of reflective whites, enhanced natural light, and open design elements create an illusion of expansiveness.
Merchandising through art:

Everything, including the strategically positioned artworks—hand-sketched black-and-white illustrations of Paddington’s iconic terrace houses accented with subtle sage mint highlights—was designed and customised to align perfectly with the client’s branding and product display requirements, drawing the eye and encouraging customer engagement.

Digital & Brand Extension

Custom website creation:

A tailored, user-friendly digital platform crafted in-house, mirroring the bistro’s distinctive aesthetic with seamless integration of online menus, click-and-collect ordering, reservations, and mobile optimisation to extend the brand experience beyond the physical space and drive customer engagement.
Bespoke menu creation:

Professionally designed in-house, these physical and digital menus harmonise with the interior’s colour palette and branding, featuring elegant layouts, high-quality imagery, and thoughtful typography to highlight offerings, enhance readability, and elevate the overall dining experience from discovery to enjoyment.

At Starr Projects, we collaborate closely with each client’s budget to maximise impact, delivering bespoke, high-quality interiors and complete brand solutions that turn challenges into opportunities. This thoughtful end-to-end service not only meets the practical demands of a busy bistro but exceeds expectations, creating a bright, stylish venue that feels expansive, efficient, and uniquely tailored.

This Paddington bistro project stands as a testament to how innovative design and comprehensive project delivery can transform spatial constraints into standout commercial successes.
