Project. The 46-room hotel is set on the renowned Willow Creek Vineyard. This new build complements an existing winery, cellar door and Edwardian homestead – now the hotel bar. Surrounded by acres of immaculate vines and rural native vegetation, Jackalope operates  as a hotel, a function space, a restaurant and cocktail bar, and is truly redefining  luxury among Victoria’s few boutique designer hotels.
Of course creating a unique visual-sensory, design-driven experience requires the combination of unique materials and ideas. What is certainly projected throughout the project is the meticulous attention to detail and design passion.
 

Construction. With the hotel predominately clad in dark zinc with charred timber and black metal  detailing, the Makro Architecture VISION fabric laminated glass makes for an impactful  staircase and second floor balustrade material. The glass panels of 1200 x 1500 up to 1800 mm are made of 2 x 6 mm low iron tempered glas. 
The fabric used is Printed Gold on both sides in density 140/50 with a soft LED lighting across the top of the panel to subtly bring out the gold flicker of the mesh in the glass, creating a bold highlight and yet another interesting visual element.
