Shell House at Wynyard was built in the 1930s and is the only surviving commercial palazzo style building in Sydney. This building comprises four unique restaurants and bar venues. 
The ground floor Menzies Bar is a European style bistro with a large oval steel feature bar. As it is built over a substation, floor penetrations were not allowed. 
There is limited head height and to account for this raised floor for drainage and bulkheads for ventilation were creative responses to these limitations. 
Level nine has a dining room and bar areas which use Jarrah timber extensively to produce a sleek, European style look. Areas flow out to well-designed external terraces. Level 8 is occupied by a large bank so additional soundproofing was essential and ceiling access to the lower floor needed to be restricted. 
The Level ten Skybar has been designed with a New York rooftop vibe. A large American oak feature bar dominates and is complimented by the outdoor terrace with views of the city. Access was severely limited due to advanced trees and the upper floor. Facades were delivered and positioned in one day to minimise the road closure. 
This project is a credit to Buildcorp Interiors. The standard of workmanship is excellent, and the final product will be suitably enjoyed by Sydneysiders and visitors alike.
