The operators of Truffleduck at Balmoral Receptions required an extensive update of their existing reception premises to expand their already successful business. Understanding of the logistics of the business’s operation was key in the delivery of the client’s brief. A large, fully equipped and integrated kitchen is now able to service in-house functions and off-site catering simultaneously. A tired marquee area behind an existing heritage building was converted to a modern yet flexible function space with a 250-patron capacity. It can be partitioned off and houses an advanced multimedia presentation and lighting system. The design incorporates an impressive undulating ceiling, glazed highlight windows and neutral coloured finishes such as natural oiled timber panelling and custom designed carpet. The extension includes an outdoor deck and specially designed water feature, accessible by large glass doors from the main function space with fantastic unobstructed views to the nearby Moorabool River and picturesque bushland
