A discrete urban intervention reinvigorates a popular outdoor dining room in the heart of The Rocks, Sydney. The Phillip’s Foote restaurant building has state heritage listing, but its courtyard has languished over time under an old lean-to roof that diminished its presence. The new signature roof reimagines the space as an open-air banquet hall, a welcome addition among the labyrinth of cobblestone laneways. The outdoor dining space lives under a vaulted roof that references the old while contemplating the future.
