THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
European style and classic Venetian cuisine meet in the new
Rialto Restaurant.
The Rialto Tower is a Melbourne landmark best known for its plush offices and observation deck.
As part of its transformation into a premium shopping and dining precinct, well known restaurateur,
Guy Grossi, was invited to open a new restaurant.
RED Design Group produced this creative pitch for Guy and his team. The new concept draws from
Guy's family heritage in the Venetian region of Italy, but adds a contemporary Melbourne flavour
to the design.
The richness of colours, the luxury of Venetian tiles and glassware, combined with natural textures
like brick and timber.
The restaurant is planned to be located in the adjacent 5 star hotel and also features an outdoor
café area in the laneway that separates Rialto Tower from the InterContinental Hotel.
RED's team delivered the entire concept from architecture and planning, to interior design and
development of a new brand in all its applications.
