Charcoal Ramen
Design: LYD Studio
Location: Robina QLD

Recycled timber and concrete render form the primary material palette of the restaurant, giving the interior a quiet sense of weight and warmth.
The timber elements bring texture and rhythm across the shelving, joinery and furniture, while the rendered walls and exposed structure provide a more restrained architectural backdrop. Suspended fabric panels soften the volume overhead, moderating both light and scale within the dining space.
The result is an interior where material, proportion and atmosphere are allowed to carry the experience, with each element contributing to a calm and cohesive whole.

SUNROOM COFFEE KIOSK
Design: LYD STUDIO
Location: Townsville Shopping Centre,Townsville

A fresh look for a familiar coffee spot.

Sunroom was a refurbishment of an existing kiosk that had been trading for years. The brief was to create a contemporary, premium feel that met the centre’s expectations, while working within the client’s budget and keeping the kitchen largely unchanged.

With limited scope for structural changes, we focused on what a carefully considered cosmetic refresh could achieve. Pale stone surfaces, curved detailing, warm grey panelling and brass accents give the kiosk a renewed identity, with soft lighting adding warmth and definition to the counters.

For us, the size of a project doesn’t determine the care it receives. Whether it’s a full fitout or a modest refurbishment, we take the time to understand what matters to the client and make the most of what’s possible.

FUFU SANDO & COFFEE
Design: LYD STUDIO
Location: Market Square, Sunnybank, Brisbane

For FUFU Sando & Coffee, we wanted to bring the familiarity of a small Japanese neighbourhood café into an Australian streetscape.

Warm timber, textured off-white walls and fabric curtains give the space a soft, understated character, while a bright blue awning adds a fresh pop of colour and a clear identity along the shopfront.

The timber-framed folding windows open the café to the street, allowing the window seating to become part of both the interior and the neighbourhood outside.

A simple, welcoming space designed around a sando, a coffee and a moment to pause.

Chubby Wagyu
Design: LYD STUDIO
Location: Surfers Paradise Boulevard

Calling all Wagyu lovers! A new Yakiniku experience is hitting the Gold Coast.

At Chubby Wagyu 牛將軍, we turned a structural constraint into the star of the show. Instead of hiding an existing steel beam, we extended it and painted it neon pink—creating a modern, electric take on a traditional Japanese Torii gate.

Paired with classic Izakaya elements and a hidden pop of cool blue LEDs under the booths, the space delivers a perfect clash of traditional warmth and a mysterious, futuristic vibe.

The ultimate backdrop for premium Wagyu and weekend drinks. Who's ready?

For this project, we wanted the space to feel like it gradually pulls people in layer by layer.
At the shopfront, we introduced an angled overhead bulkhead with the logo positioned above to create a stronger sense of arrival and draw attention into the store from the mall. We also worked with the existing structural columns by placing machines below them, turning what could have been an awkward tenancy constraint into part of the frontage design.

One of the biggest challenges with claw machine stores is that the machines already come with a lot of colour, light and visual noise. During the design process, we worked closely with the client and supplier to review the machine selection and coordinate the overall presentation, so the machines and interior could feel more connected in colour and tone. This helped reduce the sense of clutter and create a cleaner, more cohesive space.
