A Rustic Retreat by the Sea: Reimagining Moondog Brewery

We’re proud to showcase the transformation of Moondog Brewery in Frankston into a stunning beach club. Using reclaimed timber and natural materials, we created a rustic yet resort-like space that offers a tropical oasis by the ocean. From the lush beer garden with over 1,500 trees to the stylish Getaway Bar with its glassy epoxy finish, every detail was thoughtfully designed to evoke relaxation and vibrancy.

The main bar, complete with a music stage and raised dining areas, features blue gum slabs and bamboo cladding, giving the space a warm, resort-inspired atmosphere. Despite logistical challenges, we successfully converted an old warehouse into a versatile venue perfect for dining, socializing, and celebrating.
