The Gap Tavern, a testament to thoughtful design and meticulous craftsmanship, nestled in the leafy suburb of The Gap in Queensland. This project was conceived and brought to life through the collaborative efforts of Cayas and Ward, the architects behind its vision, and Rohrig Constructions, who executed the construction of the project. Commissioned by the discerning Endeavour Group, The Gap Tavern represents a harmonious fusion of natural aesthetics and modern elegance.

A Comprehensive Transformation:

The Gap Tavern's ambitious transformation encompassed the creation of a new gaming room, a captivating sports bar, and a substantial refurbishment of the dining areas within the tavern. This holistic reinvention has not only expanded the offerings but also redefined the very essence of the venue.

Inspired Interior Design:

In the heart of this architectural masterpiece lies an interior design that pays homage to its idyllic surroundings and the distinctive quarry in which it is nestled. Subtle but significant cues from the quarry's rugged stonework find their expression in the branding and signage, infusing the space with a sense of continuity and connection. A rich color palette dominated by deep greens, complemented by warm timber accents, and set against dark ceilings, creates a moody ambiance that invites intimacy and relaxation.

The abundance of large windows plays a dual role – welcoming the outside in, allowing natural light to permeate deep into the venue, and affording guests exquisite vistas of the lush, natural backdrop. This design approach seamlessly bridges the gap between the interior and the picturesque surroundings, making it a true oasis within the suburb.

Project Completion:

In July 2023, The Gap Tavern reached its culmination, a testament to the collective dedication and vision of the teams involved. The Endeavour Group's commitment to reimagining the hospitality experience has found a magnificent expression in this project, which now stands as a benchmark for future endeavors.
