ORTAKOY

01.10.07


Ortakoy is a Turkish restaurant in Highpoint shopping centre Maribrynong, owned by popular local belly-dancer Demet Sahan, famous for being in the  Big Brother house in 2007.

Demet wanted to create a cultural experience with a menu specialising in gozleme, a traditional savoury Turkish dish of filled bread.

Our design used graphic murals as an educational tool to describe both the gosleme cuisine and the Turkish culture in a visually aesthetic way.

Mosaic tiles were used in a fun manner, contrasted by bold contemporary poster style graphics. 

In the simple outdoor seating area we took advantage of the Turkish maximalist use of patterns to create a lively colourful experience.
