Inspired by Brisbane’s rich history, The Lord Lamington has come to life in the Brisbane Domestic Airport Terminal.

A wide shot of a circular, open-plan restaurant and bar situated in the middle of a large, bright, modern airport or public terminal. The main area is defined by a ring of concrete columns. A decorative white and light green lattice structure sits between the columns, partially enclosing the dining space which is furnished with small wooden tables and black chairs. At the center is a bar counter. Several groups of people are standing or seated. The ceiling is very high and features a grid of dark beams, a central skylight, and decorative abstract mobile sculptures shaped like scattered leaves or seed pods hanging from above. The floor is light-colored tile.

A close-up shot of three rectangular menu posters hanging side-by-side against a dark wall. The menus are suspended from a black rail by brown leather straps and wooden dowels. The central poster is teal/dark blue with large, stylized gold lettering that reads "YES M'LORD" and includes a faint, light outline drawing of a man (likely Lord Lamington, as indicated by the small text at the bottom). The two adjacent posters are white with black text, listing menu items and prices. The left poster is a "BREAKFAST" menu, and the right poster lists "SALADS" and "ALL DAY SANDWICHES." — The Lord Lamington Brisbane QLD

Designed by Collectivus, the hospitality fitout features raw, heritage inspired materials offset with contemporary colour and detailing, while the bespoke joinery and superb finishes set the scene for the locally sourced, chef-created food and beverage offering.

A close-up view of the curved bar area in a modern, bright airport restaurant. The bar has a light sage green paneled base, a wooden countertop, and is stocked with glassware and a large water dispenser. Behind the bar, a selection of liquor bottles is neatly displayed on shelves. Hanging above the bar is a round, green sign that reads "WET YOUR WHISTLE," surrounded by several large, white globe pendant lights suspended from a dark, curved ceiling element. The flooring is a mix of light terrazzo and a reddish-brown herringbone brick pattern that curves around the bar. Several customers are visible seated in the dining area in the background, which features large windows.

A close-up view of a restaurant or café wall featuring a large, stylized, black line-art portrait of a mustachioed man in a suit and cravat, installed against a plain white wall. The lower section of the wall has light gray vertical wainscoting. A simple, globe-shaped white pendant light hangs to the right of the portrait. In the foreground, the heads and shoulders of several people are visible, out of focus, suggesting a busy environment.

A detail shot of a café interior with a display counter and decorative wall. In the center is a glass display case filled with pastries, sandwiches, and bottled drinks, set atop a light green base with a wooden trim. Above the counter hangs a round, green sign that reads "ONE FOR THE ROAD." The floor features a curved path transitioning from light terrazzo to a herringbone pattern of reddish-brown bricks. A curved wall separates the counter area from the seating area, adorned with a large, black, line-art graphic of a mustachioed man in a suit. The wall is painted white on top with a light gray wainscoting below. — 1/4

A view of a busy, modern open kitchen pass in a restaurant. In the foreground, there is a counter with a dark wood panel base and a stainless steel top, where a tall stack of white plates is visible on the right. Above the pass, a large, dark blue/black metal exhaust hood dominates the left side of the frame. Several chefs in white uniforms are actively working behind the counter, preparing and plating food, with two prominent chefs facing each other across the service line. The background shows glimpses of the dining area and an arched window structure, suggesting the restaurant is located near a travel hub like an airport. — 3/4
