COX Architecture
Cox Architecture (COX) is a design-focused contemporary architectural practice with Studios located in every major Australian city. Our design ethos underpins every project. Key to our ethos is enhancing the public life of our cities. We endeavour to do this by ensuring every project makes a positive contribution to its public realm – that it gives more than it takes.
Project: Poetica
Poetica, a bar and grill that forges connections with place, past and present, food with theatre, fire and water. Imbued with the creative legacy of past locals William Blue and Brett Whitely, the conceptual narrative creates a timeless clubhouse brimming with whimsical moments, theatre, and timeless simplicity.
Anchored by an open kitchen, flanked by an abundant display of meat, fish and wine. The theatre of cooking over an open flame provides an activated backdrop for diners. The restrained palette of oak floors, granite, concrete, glazed tiles, and a brick wood grill is juxtaposed by flourishes of gloss joinery and figured marble.
