G&Tea

2018 | CAFÉ | BAR | PYRMONT

Located on the ground floor of Sydney’s The Star Hotel, this gilded space-age venue magically recreates immersive natural environments within its windowless confines, transitioning from a daytime tea house serving exotic blends to a spirit den by sundown.

A transformative audio system and a series of 10 LED wall screens immerses patrons in a tranquil rainforest by day, whilst the magic of moonlight and fireflies creates an atmospheric companion to a botanical cocktail come nightfall. Curved turquoise-lacquered walls mingle with amoebic velveteen lounges and chairs in rich sapphire and coral shades, capturing the glow of native wildflowers after the rains – an organic theme further explored in the spherical terrariums cradling petrified greenery.
