AUSTRALIA | The EVE Hotel in Sydney has offered a glimpse into Sydney's latest boutique hotel experience ahead of its summer opening in the Harbour City.
Conceived by some of the country’s best design minds, The EVE Hotel Sydney has revealed what guests can expect when the Harbour City’s newest boutique luxury hotel experience opens this summer in the new Wunderlich Lane lifestyle precinct.
TOGA Group’s Allan Vidor has brought together forward-thinking Sydney creatives, SJB’s Adam Haddow, 360 Degree’s Daniel Baffsky and Interior Architect George Levissianis, whose designs are reflective of Sydney’s global city status, with influences from the local neighbourhood and abroad.
Vidor said this talented trio have combined their design know-how to imagine spaces where hotel guests and visitors can immerse themselves in the art, cultural, and culinary offerings from the local community, with The EVE at the centre of the hospitality experience.
“TOGA has a particular expertise in conceiving and delivering mixed use precincts, and a passion for creating thoughtfully designed spaces,” Vidor said.
“And The EVE Hotel Sydney and Wunderlich Lane precinct bring together the best of Surry Hills and Redfern into one stylish destination.”
From the moment guests arrive at The EVE, they will be surrounded by style - from the immersive art-filled lobby bar with vaulted ceilings to a lush rooftop restaurant and bar with panoramic views over Surry Hills and Redfern.
An urban haven: The EVE features a rooftop space that is first and foremost a garden, paying homage to the precinct’s former life as one of the very first pleasure gardens* established during the colonial Sydney era.
Conceptualised by Surry Hills-based creative Daniel Baffsky from 360 Degrees, the landscape envelopes the space with beautiful, lush native planting and exotic palms that are in perfect synergy with the architecture.
The EVE’s 20-meter pool is set within the rooftop garden. Textural natural stone, accented retro-style umbrellas, bespoke cabanas, and imported Sukabumi pool tiles complete the overall design aesthetic. The hotel’s all-weather rooftop restaurant and bar—a contemporary Mexican restaurant and mezcaleria helmed by Sydney-based, experience-led hospitality operators Liquid & Larder—is designed to provide a sense of escapism for guests.
Taking inspiration from Adam Haddow’s architectural palette, George Livissianis and his interiors team created a venue that maintains a sense of being outdoors.
“We wanted to create a space that felt like an external space - surrounded by planting and absorbed into it. The choice of sandblasted travertines, Palladiana flooring and an exposed concrete structure aims to create this sense of texture – of being outside and located in an urban context,” Livissianis said.
Red travertine is at the core of Livissianis’ palette, and the venue's colour scheme picks up on the variability of the stone—from ochre reds to brighter oranges—in tune with the Mexican food offering.
Sydney by Design: Sydney’s love of the great outdoors spills over this hotel, literally… with meticulously crafted landscapes that have a symbiotic interaction with SJB’s architectural design. Baffsky’s sophisticated planting design combines native and exotic species in lush, bold arrangements that connect and reflect with the surrounds of the cosmopolitan city on its doorstep. Baffsky’s landscaping extends beyond the hotel walls into Wunderlich Lane, a curated lifestyle precinct that acts as launchpad for discovering the best of Surry Hills and Redfern.
