The Milton… Elwood Victoria

Located in my old stomping ground the popular Bay side suburb of Elwood, The Milton exemplifies the ongoing gentrification of the area and it’s rich literary and architectural history. Characterised by the once grand array of Victorian, Edwardian and Interwar architecture, which is sadly disappearing with each new development (but that’s another story). Named after one of the iconic British literary figures, which define Elwood’s streets,  The Milton is inspired by this local sentiment. Biasol Design Studio developed a bespoke brand that evoked a sense of intrigue and old world charm, yet still felt familiar.
The brief was to establish a venue that delivered the wine list and refinement of an up-market restaurant in the form of an understated urban bar. Mellow and mature, their design response went about articulating a multi-zoned space that was at once accessible, atmospheric and moody, yet true to purpose with drinking, eating and socialising placed at the center.

The Milton hits all the right notes, adding another layer to the chic village vibe of Elwood.
