Alleyway tells the story of how a tiny, unused space in a premium location was transformed into a dynamic bar, which activates the public domain around the site and augments Sydney’s emerging laneway scene. With a warm glow of ambient illumination, mirror strips creating an illusory depth of space for customers, hand-selected reclaimed crates act as space-saving storage.
