QV Food Court Refurbishment

Cnr Lonsdale and Swanston streets
Melbourne, VIC, Australia

Reaping the reward of strategic planning

There’s great pleasure in construction when trades meticulously line up to allow seamless execution of a plan. For the QV Food Court refurbishment, this careful scheduling was both a reality and a necessity to keep the food court operational during construction. Executed behind full-height hoardings, the project saw striking acoustic ceilings become features, complemented by joinery and tiling and a brand new staircase. Tenancy areas were stripped back and completely refreshed in preparation for new tenants – and a new future for QV.
