September 1st, 2010
The fit-out of this inner-city bar by Six Degrees blended the historic with the modern.
Richmond’s Royal Saxon House, like so much of inner-city Melbourne, melds a historic setting with clean modern lines and black ironwork.
The elegant makeover is the brainchild of Six Degrees architects, who embarked on a groundbreaking renovation of this popular Melbourne nightspot.
“I wanted to give people a quality everyday experience at The Royal Saxon and we achieve this by offering various dining and imbibing moods under one roof,” says Paul Olynyk, Owner of The Royal Saxon.
Attention to detail sets the Royal Saxon apart, with wonderful parquetry tables, stained glass windows and use of timber cladding and ceiling panels.
