Melba Fresh Food Hall

• Completion: September 2007
• Construction: 6 weeks
• Builder: Leeda Developments - Frank Rossi
• Photography: Yvonne Qumi

This project was a conversion of a motor mechanics workshop into a quality food hall located in a small shopping area of Brunswick.

This project is helping to revitalise the precinct. The project was designed to bring a sense of life, theatre and activity to the main space and make shopping for daily items a pleasure.

The interior colours are subdued and designed to bring the colours of the fruit and vegetables to the foreground. The timbers that were used are predominantly Australian and give the interior a natural and warm feeling.

We worked closely with the client to understand the requirements for the display of fruit and vegetables. We also worked closely with the builder to build prototypes of the display system and ensured the finishes met the clients expectations and budget constraints.
