Interior Designer Caroline Choker has been shortlisted in the hospitality category of the prestigious IDEA awards for her stunning work on The Grounds of Alexandria. She was selected from hundreds of entries and presented to a jury panel of design industry professionals in Melbourne earlier this month.
The Grounds, which opened in March and won the coveted Sydney Morning Herald Best New Café Award just a few months later, is quickly becoming one of Sydney’s most frequented and loved cafes. A former warehouse and 1900s pie factory, The Grounds is a café, restaurant, artisan bakery and coffee roasting facility rolled into one, that opens onto an urban kitchen garden. Internally the fit-out creates a rustic, inviting atmosphere with contemporary highlights.
