Settimo Restaurant

By leveraging Buildcorp’s expertise in live environment and fit-out projects, the team successfully executed the construction of the new 150-seat Settimo Restaurant in The Westin hotel, Brisbane.

Settimo Restaurant, located inside premium hotel, The Westin, Brisbane, was a collaboration with nationally appraised chef and media personality Guy Grossi. The renovation boasts 150 seats and private dining room spread across several zones, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a garden terrace filled with olive and lemon trees.

Some of the features of the restaurant include:

• New front entry experience
• New Private Dining Room (PDR) seating up to 20 people featuring custom dining hall style table
• Split face feature stone to bar and used as protruding shelves for liquor bottle display
• Fibonacci stone to main entrance and Private Dining Room (PDR) Wine Area
• Custom designed terracotta tiles to floor and wall accents, and porcelain stone to bar tops, and custom pattern designed ceramic tiles
• Totem pole style signage
• Raw joinery painted in-situ on site
• Open plan style kitchen with servery, completely renovated with new appliances and stainless steel benchtops
• Solid timber seating arrangements with wireless touch lamps

Construction within a live environment was a key challenge of the project with a high-end bar operating underneath requiring noise and vibration monitoring and management. Existing in slab services were retained as to not disturb premium ceiling joinery in the bar underneath the restaurant. Access to the space was through three operating function rooms; with deliveries coordinated ahead of time to ensure no interference with function bookings.
