In his design for this bar and restaurant, Mark Landini, of Landini Associates, in Sydney, acknowledges the supremacy of the site's postcard Opera House view by keeping the interior simple, streamlined, and white. The most attention-drawing feature is an ever-changing light sculpture, 42 feet long, that runs behind the entire bar—with a mirror at one end of the piece effectively doubling its length. See the September, 2002 issue of Architectural Record for the full story.
