The colour palette at Jacket began with the original 1950's hex mosaic tiles on the footpath outside. Mustard and deep ochre reds became the base tones that shaped a warm, comforting atmosphere. Once the general vibe was established, we started experimenting with sharp pops of primary colour — moments of surprise and delight. Like an offbeat cymbal splash or a trumpet shriek. Big thanks to our longtime collaborator and modern-day alchemist Allan Grimes @grimesandsons for the custom stain work across the timber and cork. You always manage to bring the music to our work.

Details were layered throughout the space like elements of a song. Tightly edited together, feeding off each other — solo here, verse there, bass and rhythm working as one.... all elements responding to one another like players in a band. Thanks Sam @propercarpentry and Az @stellingcarpentry for executing everything we dreamt up with such care and precision. We have so much respect for your craft.

Proper seating doesn’t happen by accident. Every line, radius and junction mulled over so the space feels as good as it looks. One Proper Heck of a collab with @stellingcarpentry . Built for late nights, bad decisions and one more round, please. Client: @jacket.bar Design: @studioheck_ Images: @duncographic Joinery: @stellingcarpentry @propercarpentry

The brief arrived as a playlist from our jazz musician client — music was his way of describing the atmosphere he wanted to create. We translated it into a space composed like a score: piano keys stretched across the floors, the timbre of old instruments embedded in the walls, syncopation in the detailing, and staccato moments that cut in and out. Moody, warm and intimate, with small moments of surprise — like hearing your favourite song for the first time all over again. Jacket Bar’s official opening party is this Friday night. See you there.

The hero piece as always is the bar. Working with the existing footprint from the building’s previous chapter, we gave it one hell of a glow up. Solid Tassie blackwood wraps the workbench, setting the tone while you get ready for one off the wood.

We love building seating especially seating with chonky cushions. Jacket has fancy drinks and chonky cushions, two birds one stone. 😏 Client: @jacket.bar Design: @studioheck_ Joinery/Chonky cushions: @propercarpentry @stellingcarpentry Images: @duncographic

Jacket leans into intimate and intentional seating. Radiused banquettes and high-tops make the most of a tight footprint without compromising on comfort. You’ll be sure to catch a live set at jacket whist knowing you’ve got a good spot. Client: @jacket.bar Design: @studioheck_ Joinery: @propercarpentry @stellingcarpentry Images: @duncographic

These booths are made for lingering. Design, finely tuned for quiet conversation and unhurried evenings. A place to enjoy amateur philosophy, benign gossip and seriously good martinis. Love Heck Project @pendant.publicbar Images @jjjjade Carpentry @propercarpentry @stellingcarpentry

Where the magic happens! Take a seat at the bar next time you’re in (if you can’t get a booth😏) Stained Tassie Oak sets the tone throughout Pendant, the Solid oak top and salvaged French oak timber roses grace the facade giving Pendant its timeless appearance.

Best new bar in Australia, literally! Huge congrats to Luke and Belinda and the @pendant.publicbar team for taking away this year’s Australian Bartenders Bar award. Creating this space alongside Jack & Em @studioheck_ and my day 1 Az @stellingcarpentry was a real treat, it just flows when you’re all in the same head space. Doesn’t even feel like work!

First in best dressed! The Tassie oak booths are the pick of the crop when you arrive at Pendant. Formal yet cosy, they’ll keep you staying as long as you’re allowed! Timeless detailing runs throughout Pendant, effortlessly elegant and timber heavy - just the way we like it. 🔥 Design: @studioheck_ Client: @pendant.publicbar Stain: @solazzopaintdeco Woodwork, Furniture and mosaic tiling: @propercarpentry / @stellingcarpentry Images: @jjjjade
