Ma Mooneys Kitchen
Osborne Park, Western Australia

A considered revitalization of a community favourite. Drawing inspiration from nostalgic listening bars and classic cafeteria design, this fit-out utilizes cork, timber, and abundant natural light to create a space that is equal parts fresh and familiar. A warm, textural homage to good food and good company.
The design language is a study in considered nostalgia. We leaned into tactile materials to create warmth, utilizing full-height cork wall paneling and rich, dark timber wainscoting to ground the space. The listening corner, complete with vinyl display shelving and a turntable, anchors the room, inviting patrons to slow down and stay a while. By pairing Thonet-style bentwood seating with tiled checkerboard tabletops, we balanced retro cues with modern precision. The result is a sun-drenched, verdant sanctuary that honours the kitchen's legacy while welcoming its future.
