Hill of Grace Restaurant was created by renowned Australian wine maker Henschke and is located at the historic Adelaide Oval. With the intention of elevating experience, Henschke worked with design studio Band to develop a new brand identity that would match the quality of its food and wine, and establish a stronger connection with the roots of the brand, the Henschke vineyard. This is explored through photography, features custom typeface and redrawn logotype, and included the design of menus, stationery, invitations and business cards with a strong material quality in the use of laid paper, textured surfaces and blind emboss and black block foil detail.

Rooms feature interior detail such as white tiles, exposed utilities, chipboard panels, high quality finishes and original artwork from local artists, as well as modern conveniences that include en suite bathrooms, Nespresso machine, ipod dock radios, refrigerators and irons.

Cuckoo is an underground electronic music venue, cocktail and tapas bar located on Adelaide’s Hindley Street. To celebrate their fifth year in business multi-disciplinary design studio Band was commissioned to develop a new visual identity and interior design for the venue. The result is an unusual mixed typographical solution that favours personality over design convention appropriately tempered by a consistent collateral and interior solution with craft-cues.
