The Fine Food Store engaged PPC to construct manage the refurbishment of their café located within a heritage listed building in Sydney’s iconic Rocks district.
Due to the sensitive nature of working with heritage listed structures the works required close interface with the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA).
The detailed pre-planning period allowed PPC to develop the design and procurement strategy enabling the refurbishment to take place in just two weeks. During this preparation PPC liaised with the client on a daily basis to ensure an agreed schedule of deliverables was maintained, and delivered all construction works.
To minimise impact to The Food Store’s trading and because the scope required an almost complete demolition of the internal walls, PPC established a popup store outside the café. The finished product was an open and inviting space that merged the interior and exterior spaces with the construction of large operable windows. Banquette seating and tables with planter boxes draw patrons to an inviting outdoor dining area and activated laneway.
