The Rose Hotel

Harrison Interiors approached the upgrade of The Rose Fitzroy, a well-known local pub with a strong AFL football connection, with care to honour and respect its heritage. The building’s original features were maintained, with existing brick walls sandblasted and concrete floors polished, to showcase the building’s rich character.

The three rooms originally comprising the front bar have been opened up to create one large space. The new bar of locally sourced timber and plywood sits centrally, its detailing and inset panels a contemporary take on traditional public house bar styles.

Patterning is employed to add dimension and character; checkerboard tiling borders the bar, juxtaposed neatly against polished raw concrete flooring, and spotted fabric graces the upholstery. The dining area at the rear of the space is finished with a tan banquette and a diamond-patterned routed plywood wall.

The combination of brick, timber and steel with black highlights creates a warm, earthy and unpretentious interior. A slick of paint and new lighting breathe new life into a relaxed and modest pub that appeals to regulars and new patrons alike.
