A burst of rich green bamboo and ivy pops against the moody, sensual blacks of a historic Queenslander. Moments away, bold white stucco walls are lifted by grand pillars and shaped by the timeless curves of an art deco classic. This stunning architectural contrast works perfectly, just as the flavours of Vietnam and France dance flawlessly in the kitchen. The urban cool here is palpable, and the sincere commitment to modern imperatives of social responsibility and sustainability are quite possibly unmatched.
