The Sydney suburb of Wahroonga is known for its charming tree-lined streets, elegant residences, and popular cafes and eateries. SIP is a two-level café and bar positioned on Redleaf Avenue, a street that experiences some of Wahroonga's heaviest foot traffic due to the large volume of dine-in and take away venues it boasts.

​

SIP stands out among its competitors along along the same street, offering refreshing cups of coffee for early birds and decadent cocktails for those wishing to dine into the later hours of the evening. The venue creates a sophisticated dining experience with a variety of stationery, free-standing seating entice patrons at the entrance of SIP, whilst lounge seating is available on the mezzanine and outdoor areas for larger groups.

​

Floor to ceiling windows can be seen scattered along the mezzanine and at the entrances of the outdoor areas, allowing dappled natural light to flow into the venue. The outdoor dining areas features large planter boxes to pay homage to the lush, green suburbia that Wahroonga is known for.

The custom-made brass bar joinery is the focal point of the venue. Positioned on the back wall of the bar in the middle of the venue, it can store and display numerous bottles of alcohol within the generous curved diameters of the shelving. Brass rods interconnect every second level of shelving to create connection, repetition, and refinement.
