the Farmhouse in Sydney’s Kings Cross

The Farmhouse is a compact restaurant in Sidney, Australia, designed by Nicholas Gurney, an Australian upcoming designer. In his own words : “the Farmhouse is a union of design and craft; a close-knit collaboration between designer and carpenter. Inspired by rustic, 19th century European homes, Farmhouse is a 33m², 20 seat communal dining restaurant constructed from salvaged and recycled material. An individual ethos was created around the notion of a Farmhouse; Genuine, honest, simple, modest. This ethos informed and is reflected in the concept; ‘dinner party in a farmhouse’. A matte black facade is employed for the shop front and kitchen block to encapsulate the rustic farmhouse insertion and to boldly differentiate between old and new. The design of the ceiling makes full use of its double height and suggests that the dining room and its guests are occupying one half of the farmhouse.” Read an interview of the designer here.
