Wood, White and Green Coupled with Textural Beauty Inside Totti’s Restaurant

ByMyProperty Life

Bondi is a name that is renowned for sun, sand and surf, but there are other delights to explore here as well and many of them involve culinary delights that you can rarely experience elsewhere. Totti’s Restaurant offers a perfect space for one such tasty evening out with textured walls and pops of color that make a big difference. Designed by Akin Atelier, this is a restaurant where neutral colors, a warm ambiance and loads of greenery play a major role in the overall shaping of the ambiance inside. This is extended outside with a courtyard dining area that adds to the overall eating experience and makes your evening here even more special.

Lighting brought in by the opening in the ceiling adds to the ventilation

The 185-square meter restaurant was transformed using simple and elegant tones while the classic appeal of exposed wooden beams and ceiling makes it even better. Smart voids and other ventilation ducts bring in ample natural light whenever needed while the custom joinery, unique terrazzo benchtops and specially crafted tables complete the setting. A giant 50-year old olive tree in the courtyard and other plants turn this lovely little restaurant into a refreshing and seemingly casual hangout. [Photography: Murray Fredericks]

The cantina opens out to Totti’s courtyard. The outdoor space adopts a peaceful palette of mostly whites & greens drenched in sunlight that filters through the two 50-year old olive trees planted during the rebuild to create privacy from the neighboring residential block.

  • Auburn Addition and Remodel

    Built in the late 1970s, the Auburn house is reminiscent of the California Modern homes built in the mid-century. Located in an established neighborhood of mixed residential typologies, the house greets the neighborhood on the north street side and opens to a southern back yard perched above the North Fork of the American River canyon. The owners, who both work from home, asked us to develop a master plan for the property that included additional space for private offices, a guest bedroom, a workshop, and a future pool. Also desired was an extensive remodel of the existing house that update the home and improve energy efficiency. The two-story addition to the home is tucked into a narrow buildable slice of the parcel on the eastern end of the home. It optimizes the existing infrastructure and only hints at a bold modern form, from the street side. However, on the private south side, the addition opens dramatically to the inspiring southern canyon view from the second-floor office spaces. A second entrance is provided into the “creative” wing of the building – to allow work to occur with some separation from the activity of family life. The remodel of the existing home evokes the California Modernist moments of the building by creating smoother transitions between the interior and exterior spaces and updating the kitchen to create better functionality all while using sustainable materials that are expressed in an honest manner. The energy upgrades on this home focus on improving the envelope through meticulous air sealing, replacing all the existing insulation, replacing all the windows, and upgrading all the mechanical equipment. An oversized and outdated furnace was replaced with a high performing unit installed within a conditioned attic. Heating and cooling in the new addition will be provided by a ductless mini split. A roof mounted 6 kW photovoltaic system is expected to offset all the electrical usage for this mixed fuel home.
