The venue fit-out of the Hightail bar in Melbourne's Docklands was inspired by the vibrant watering hole at the heart of Greame Base’s classic children’s book ‘The Waterhole.' Designed by Technē Architecture + Interior Design, the venue playfully references the concept of ‘the watering hole’ as both a feature of the natural landscape and to the old colloquial term for a public bar.
The expansive 1052 square metre site has been transformed into an immersive large-scale venue, housing a number of zones and two bars. Located in the centre of Melbourne’s urban jungle – Docklands, Hightail will provide nearby workers with an oasis of fun at the corporate location.
A range of lighting and furniture from Design Nation can be seen in this hospitality project that include the DUOMO pendants by Anaesthetic Design, CORKER pendants by Max Harper, BOMBALA OUT chairs by Didier and PORTA VENEZIA chairs by Infiniti Design. These pieces complement the interior and exterior beautifully.
