On the left, a barista is working at the espresso machine. In the center and right, two refrigerated display cases are filled with various pastries and snacks. The wall behind the service counter is a striking bright red, contrasting with white subway tiles. White menu boards hang from red piping above the counter. The right end of the counter features a decorative panel with a black and white chevron pattern. Large windows look out onto an atrium or outdoor area.
An exterior view of a large, circular cafe or restaurant building with striking contemporary architecture. The building features a facade wrapped in horizontal wooden slats. The structure is sheltered by a wide, open-sided canopy roof made of a combination of dark metal framing and a ceiling of light-brown wooden slats. In the center of the frame, the cafe serving area is visible through large open windows, where staff are working. The foreground is filled with an expansive outdoor seating area featuring numerous square white tables and matching dark gray chairs, set upon a light gray paved ground. The surrounding area outside the structure is visible on the left, showing trees and open space.

This approach inspired the design and build of nine new venues at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital – Epicure Kitchen Café, Sushi Sushi, The kitchen,  Boost Juice, CIBO Retreat, Merlo Coffee, Alice & George and The Container.

I would like to recognise the strong and close working relationship that Spotless and the Unita group have shared for in excess of 5 years. Providing a full end to end solution incorporating Design, through Build, and all permit applications provides a strategic benefit to the Spotless model. One that is scalable to our needs from small re-fits of outlets through to fixed price large scale contracted works. The Unita model of project management adds additional benefit to us as maintain full visibility over projects from inception to delivery. Unitas exposure to multi-disciplined clients, and high profile landlords is equally of great benefit due to the critical nature and high profile of our works.
