This outdoor bar is located in Melbourne’s Federation Square and is the first built project designed by Foomann Architects.

Fed Square is a vibrant city hub however the south courtyard facing Flinders Street had gone through a series of tenants. We were engaged by Beer DeLuxe to help activate the space and the creation of this outdoor service area was central to the approach. This intervention provided a bar with a wood fired pizza oven and prep area – which created theatre and energy close to street.

The complexity of designing a building that satisfied the Federation Square hierarchy was successfully navigated and the building is still in use.
