We are beyond proud to finally share our completed interior design for the Salty Dog Hotel, a venue designed to feel like a permanent Sunday session.
A great project to be part of, working closely over the last two years with Field Labs, Soda Projects and the venue owners to bring it all to life.
Briefed to create something fun, immersive and unapologetically good time energy, we leaned hard into nostalgic beach club culture, somewhere between the Gold Coast in the late 70s, a Palm Springs motel party, and your favourite local pub rolled into one.
A little sun faded.
A little cheeky.
A little kick arse.
At the intersection of beach and burbs culture, Salty Dog was imagined as more than a venue, it is a feeling. A love letter to carefree summers past. Warm nights, salty skin, cold drinks, retro optimism and the kind of place where everyone feels like a regular.
The interiors unfold through generous indoor and outdoor spaces layered with warmth, colour, texture and an energetic confidence that breaks the mould of the traditional pub. Familiar but unexpected. Relaxed but with punch.
Designed as a vibrant community watering hole, every corner was considered to spark connection, nostalgia and fun-filled moments that linger long after you leave.
Because your Salty Dog is your favourite person. Your best mate. Your lover. Your people. It’s easy like Sunday morning.
Thank you to Adriano and Polly for allowing us to be part of something great. It is a vibrant and wonderful project for Hobart and one we are super proud to have played a part in.
