Buchan is proud to introduce one of Melbourne’s most anticipated bar reveals of the year: Bar Alba. Designed for local restauranteurs Jesse and Kym Davidson and taking cues from Kew’s renowned interwar architecture, the recently completed wine bar channels the old-world European charm of Italy’s enoteche while respecting the remnants of its heritage-listed site. The monolithic bar is the showpiece of the fitout, stretching nine metres down the right-hand side

Buchan has made five new appointments to its global design team with leadership promotions announced across its Perth, Auckland and Christchurch studios. Bojana Hynes and Rhys Maxwell have been promoted to senior associates, while Alessandro Paladin, Arno Pieters and Bradley Hunting have been appointed as associates. Buchan CEO Stephen Auld says the announcement is a reflection of the practice’s ongoing evolution as an internationally acclaimed architectural, interior and brand experience
