设计师以精品酒店般的设计，打造了一处受欢迎的休闲场所。比起商业空间，这里更适合家庭聚会，人们可以在此休息看书，也可以围绕着大餐桌与朋友相聚，享受慵懒的午餐时光，在一天结束之时品尝一杯马提尼酒。
With respect to the familiarity of a much beloved venue, the design references relaxed beachside boutique hotels. More in line with a domestic space rather than a commercial one, it is somewhere to lounge and read a book, meet some friends at the large communal tables for a long lazy lunch and finish the day with sandy feet and a martini.

在周末，这里会经常举办婚礼，因此空间需要有较强的适应性。设计师采用内嵌家具和隔板，为室内的灵活布置奠定基础。层层隔板搭成的框架诠释了“沙丘”的概念，也满足了多样化装饰的需求。
With weddings most weekends it needed to be a very flexible and adaptable space. The built-in furniture and shelving create a foundation on which to build layers – it is recognisable as Dunes with this framework but also able to be dressed in a multitude of ways.

由于预算有限，设计师花费了大量时间修复和选购二手家具和摆件，并以现有的材料进行装饰。多余材料和旧门制成了咖啡桌，室外地板的边角料制成了橱柜的把手，旧材料的纹路增强了防滑性，彩绘装饰都由手工涂成。此外，设计师还创造了富有趣味的细节，引起顾客的驻足观赏。例如独特的玻璃纤维，粗粝的日本镶嵌瓷砖和手绘橱柜把手都十分细微却引人入胜。
Due to a limited budget, a lot of thought and time went into restoring and sourcing vintage furniture and objects and finding ways to make new pieces from what we had. All the coffee tables were made using offcuts and old doors and the cupboard handles are made from outdoor decking offcuts. Because of the ridges they have good grip. Each was then hand painted. I’m interested in creating little moments which make people stop for a second and notice. The strange texture of the fibreglass, the roughness of the japanese tile inlays, the hand painted cabinet handles are all details which can easily be overlooked but if seen make you pause even fleetingly.
