With Australian diners becoming ever more discerning, what makes for a memorable eating or drinking environment? And how much does the design of a space contribute to a venue’s success? In this highly respected speaker program presented by Artichoke magazine, we explore hospitality spaces and what makes the good ones work.
Justin Northrop, director of Techné Architecture + Interior Design, is renowned as a designer of edgy hospitality spaces, transforming empty shells into dynamic, people-friendly establishments where food, wine and good cheer abound.

Angela Layton leads Arkhefield’s interior design discipline and has worked within the hospitality, retail and commercial fields. Angela’s primary passion is contributing to spaces that are regularly inhabited by people to create memorable experiences.
