Concept
The client of this new venture, Salvatore Papa, proprietor of Pasticceria Papa. This new venue continues the trend from traditional Italian Pasticceria, taking another step beyond the new Bondi store. The rich Italian country feel that underpins the Papa’s brand breaks into the cold concrete heart of the city. This is viscerally expressed in the alley doorway cracking through the exterior concrete.
Colours downstairs were chosen for their warmth. Deep red and orange complements the fireplaces creating a cosy and home-like feel. The Italian country ambiance from the natural materials modifies the urban exterior to create a unique, warm blend.
The main spatial considerations were having enough bathrooms for the customers, along with a kitchen large enough to serve meals downstairs. Pastry and cake preparation occurs offsite at the Five Dock store. Seating upstairs is designed for short-stay lunch and pastry customers along with some space for office workers to spend a little more time to get away from their desks. Downstairs the seating comes in 5 flavours – private dining, both formal and casual, private and shared booths, and some small tables near the roller shutter that can move out into the laneway when the weather permits.
