The Stokehouse St Kilda

Almost four years after a fire tore through the popular foreshore venue, Stokehouse, St Kilda is again abuzz. Sydney Industrial Design studio, TILT Industrial Design, collaborated with Robert Simeoni Architects and owners, the Van Haandel Group, to reimagine the new Stokehouse’s exterior with the interior design led by hospitality design legend Pascale Gomes-McNabb.

The restaurant has a fresh new look, overlooking St Kilda beach. The building doesn’t try to imitate its predecessor. Instead, it pays homage to the beachside jetty, with a blackened timber-clad façade.

Raw elements such as leather, concrete and brick connect the building to the nearby man-made sand dunes. The dunes conceal the ground floor from street level, giving Stokehouse, on the top floor, the illusion of floating. The new precinct also houses casual bar and grill Pontoon, and fish-and-chip kiosk Paper Fish.
