Studio Tate references old treasuries with coffee shop for Commonwealth Bank of Australia
					The "restrained opulence" of historic banks and treasuries informed the interior of this coffee shop in Sydney, designed by Studio Tate.
Toby's Estate is within the ground-floor foyer of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia headquarters, which has recently been overhauled by architecture firm Woods Bagot.
The studio took inspiration from the architecture of old financial institutions, mirroring their use of material and colour.

"The restrained opulence of historic banks and treasuries is reflected in the colour palette of deep hues, warm timbers and rich metallics" added Tetlow-Stuart.
