About this space

Evocative of its setting within a late 1800s Victorian Georgian rendered brick building that originally served as the Waratah Hotel, No. 92 draws upon the corner site’s past to deliver the spirit of a bygone era. Resulting in a refined rendition of an intimate salon, elemental fixtures including marble and iron fireplaces, ornate cornices and decorative ceilings were restored, whilst feminine flourishes communicate a tactile and inclusive tone.

Downstairs, a ribbon of custom rolled timber banquette seating cushioned with jade green leather plus raised bars swirl seamlessly around the main dining room, offsetting the heritage features. Cocooning an intimate dining quarter like a sheath of velvet, an undulating wall mural by Taiwanese-Australian artist, Angie Pai, depicts abstract landscapes.

Textured Venetian plaster and lime wash wall finishes, hammered glass, antique mirrors and sourced vintage pieces – particularly light fittings – add an instant lustre of charm. Other elements including the bar’s custom metal liquor cabinet and the courtyard’s wrought iron furniture were selected for their capacity to weather and age gracefully.
Parlour games take on a more luxurious direction upstairs. An amoebic ottoman and dramatically veined custom marble-surfaced tables mingle with autumnal-shaded carpets and upholstered armchairs, culminating in the dramatically broody private dining room. Throughout these three spaces, pendant lighting, a still life painting (Dutch 17th century genre) and an array of ornaments elevate its intimate residential appeal.
