Kathy Savill’s career charts the rise of modern hospitality in Australia, shaped by instinct, resilience and an eye for detail. In our latest H&E Journal interview, she looks back on the lessons learned and the industry she continues to shape with her consulting agency A Bite at a Time. "There are so many moving parts – design considerations, people and culture and finance departments and all of that – to running a successful hospitality business. But people think they know because they’ve eaten in a restaurant." Read the full interview on our website: https://lnkd.in/gnQb-XvS _ #interview #hospitalityindustry #kathysavill

Completed | The new Feros Group headquarters occupying the fourth floor of the Parc development. At the heart of the space, an integrated kitchen island and bar set the stage for vibrant gatherings that reflect the group’s hospitality ethos, with the rich burgundy carpet defining a flexible lounge and communal meeting area. The bar and kitchen are anchored by an oversized ice well crafted from Verde Alpi stone, becoming the focal point for in-house events and celebrations. A series of meeting rooms frame views toward Gunnamatta Bay and Monro Park, creating a strong visual connection to the newly opened Parc Pavilion, while a vibrant palette in the communal work areas fosters a sense of energy that reflects the group’s focus on wellbeing. _ #officedesign #hospitalitydesign #sydneyarchitects

“It is a sophisticated, environmentally responsive design that enhances both the Country Club and the wider Bingara Gorge community. The architecture is designed to meld with the bushland setting and neighbouring amenities – Pulse Fitness Club and the Country Club, with a vernacular style exterior design and use of recycled brickwork to assist the building sit comfortably within the landscape and alongside the golf course,” Mr Grinham said. We are delighted to see Wollondilly Shire Council approve this landmark new hotel within Metro Property Group’s Bingara Gorge community at Wilton. It has been a privilege for us at H&E Architects to lead the design of this project alongside Metro and the Feros Group.
