Biasol Design Studio adds booths with pitched roofs to Melbourne restaurant
Dining areas within this Melbourne restaurant are housed beneath individual pitched roofs, which local practice Biasol Design Studio added to give the space a "home away from home" feeling (+ slideshow).
The Kitty Burns restaurant is situated close to the bend of Melbourne's Yarra river in the suburb of Abbotsford.
With the aim of creating a space that would feel homely to the residents of the nearby area, Biasol Design Studio introduced a series of pitched roofs to the interior.
Through varying roof heights and designs, the open-plan space was organised into three different dining areas.
Smaller groups are seated underneath an overhanging wooden structure, and booths for larger parties are placed around the edge of the restaurant.

Diners can also eat at a bar area in the centre of space, or outside on the restaurant's terrace.
"Challenges presented themselves in the shape of pre-existing six-metre-high ceilings," said Biasol Design Studio. "We took this as an opportunity to capitalise on stunning natural light and open space while ensuring a level of intimacy was maintained."
"To maintain this, we designed three main dining areas to break up the space, creating unique dining experiences that work together cohesively."
