Audio Setup Consultation
For The Ten Saints, a vibrant cocktail bar and beer garden in Croydon inspired by the relaxed spirit of Barbados, I provided a tailored audio upgrade that complemented their unique aesthetic and brand identity. I sourced a vintage pair of Denon SC-507 speakers, renowned for their warm, natural midrange and smooth high-frequency response—perfect for creating an inviting, analog-rich atmosphere. These were paired with an ADCOM GFA-545 MkII amplifier, celebrated for its clean, dynamic output and low distortion, ensuring detailed sound with a rich tonal balance. I also advised on optimal speaker placement within the venue to enhance sound quality and ensure even coverage throughout the space.
Speakers were procured in conjunction with Joel from Rathdowne Records in Northcote.

Interior Layout Consultation
I worked closely with a local Vietnamese takeaway café to enhance their existing space through a small-scale shop fitout. By reusing and rearranging existing furnishings, we increased seating capacity and created a more inviting, cohesive aesthetic that complements their cultural identity. The result is a more functional layout that supports both dine-in and takeaway traffic, while reinforcing the warm, traditional feel of a Vietnamese street café.
