Tora Eatery is an Asian-Inspired Eatery, based in Windsor, Victoria, Australia.
Combining an existing space (circa early 1900’s), together with inspirations from Asian architecture & design, our aim was to harmoniously fuse the old & new, to create a new space that perfectly complemented the Asian fusion food on offer.
We retained the original façade, and window mouldings, coating all existing elements with a fresh black paint. The existing banquette was retained, and re-upholstered with a back rest added. The beautiful and original timber ceiling was retained but painted in black.
Lighting was an important element of the design, so we created subtle illumination – back lighting the banquette backrest and bar shelving - perfect for a moody evening dining ambience, together with new track lighting along the ceiling.
The walls were treated with a textured plaster finish – super matt, with varied grey tones throughout.

The custom-designed bar takes pride of place along the length of the front dining room, again resonating and linking the timber elements that wrap the ceiling.
