Movida Next Door eatery in Melbourne rolls out a new look

Published: 25-Aug-2010

The existing Movida Next Door eatery in Hosier Lane, Melbourne, has been transformed into a contemporary cocoon-like space.

Spread over 50 square metres, the new eatery has been designed by Adam Dettrick. With a ceiling height in excess of five metres, the pint-size space of the former Movida eatery was not altered. The main entrance to MoVida Next Door was initially in Flinders Street. But the brief from owners Frank Camorra and Vanessa Hodge was to orient the restaurant to Hosier Lane, complete with its graffiti-lined walls.

To strengthen the connection with the lane, new glass and steel doors were installed. Timber framed windows and Spanish tiles were used on the facade to shield patrons from the passers-by in Flinders Street. While the space at MoVida Next door is small, the area is divided into even smaller portions.

The central bar features a U-shaped seating area. While most of the timber and steel furniture is fixed, moveable tables and chairs are also used for flexibility. Storage is the central element of the store. Wine is stacked on steel shelves above the bar. A built-in wine storage is featured above the open kitchen. These shelves, accessed from a ladder inside the kitchen, are functional and decorative.

The fitout of the restaurant is modest and layered with Spanish and local materials. Terracotta tiles on the bar are from Spain, which transforms the space into light sconces. Steel and translucent polycarbonate screens are lined in a matrix of egg rings and cookie cutters sourced from a local culinary store, lending the space a slightly Moorish feel.
