The amazing metamorphosis of The Bridge Hotel is another collaborative project between Techne Architects, Visual Builders and the Sandhill Road group. What was your traditional local hotel has been transformed to create a series of themed dining rooms, balconies, sidewalk dining and private areas. Melbourne is well known for its laneways and The Bridge’s entrance showcases this design style perfectly. By introducing the laneway, it brings a focal point for the venue and reveals little hideaways and entrances to the themed rooms.
