Day 96 - Unassuming design


Today was the last day of work before the Easter break and to mark the occasion, we were treated to a lunch at the Armory Wharf Cafe. Nestled not far from Silverwater Prison, one is surprised by the oasis that has been created at the former Army base. The cafe's architecture has so many fascinating details that all work. The most prominent one is the use of camouflage netting as a shade cloth for the outdoor patrons. Inside the roof is made from a really cool zig-zag shape and uses sash windows to allow the breeze from Parramatta river to waft through the premises. For such a cohesive and unassuming design there is much to appreciate in addition to the food.
