Moorish Cafe
Earlier in the year when COVID restrictions were in place, M+J did renovations for award winning restaurant Moorish on Knuckey Street in the Darwin CBD.
Over this time, Moorish were only open for takeaways, so we had the space and access to do the work we needed to.
The brief was to maintain the iconic Moroccan theme but to give the restaurant a lighter and brighter feel.
- Feature panel ceiling - we added acoustic sound panels on the ceiling. While the main aim of this was to reduce the noise when the restaurant is busy, the style of the panels worked beautifully with the Moroccan theme of Moorish.
- Feature timber beams - the removal of the old bulkhead in the middle of Moorish gave the restaurant more height and space. A racked ceiling now continues along the full length of the restaurant, with cosmetic beams adding to the Moorish charm.
- Booth seating - the booth seating in Moorish has been hugely popular, so we extended it to run along the full length of the Cavenagh Street side of the restaurant. This gives more customers the comfort and privacy of booth seating, which has received a lot of positive feedback.
- New lighting - the new lighting installations have given Moorish the ability to create warm and inviting spaces from lunch through to evening. The addition of handmade pendants sourced directly from Morocco create unique patterns on the walls and ceilings, replicating jewels.
- Feature tiles - the hand painted feature tiles are one of the most stand out elements of Moorish. Each tile is a different size, so great care and attention to detail was needed from our M+J tiler to lay them perfectly.
- Curtains - the owner installed lush silk curtains that she sourced from Brisbane. They soften the back of the restaurant nicely and create a romantic feel.
In collaboration with Turner & Townsend and West Daly Regional Council, we recently had the privilege of refurbishing the Wadeye community pool.
