Boatbuilders Yard

The Boatbuilders Yard : Commercial/Hospitality
Builder : Tate Constructions
Architect : Six Degrees
Client : Richie Ludbrook & Dave Sharry

Situated on Melbourne’s Yarra River, Dave Sharry and Richie Ludbrook saw the potential of the Boatbuilders Yard site a few years ago. This unique location is influenced by its inherent geography, proximity to the Melbourne CBD area and National Trust requirements and building needed a sensitive and innovative approach. This Six Degrees-designed, Tate Construction built bar and eatery, adjacent to the Polly Woodside caters for up to 1400 patrons. The design captures the mood of the site with the use of recycled wood and exposed steel, sympathetic to the venue’s history and it’s nautical heritage.
