Built in the 1830s and one of Australia’s oldest standing buildings, Dunbar House has undergone a complete refurbishment after being taken over by a prominent events company.
Building is now operated by The Tea Room Group which runs Sydney venues that include The Tea Room QVB, The Tea Room Gunners’ Barracks and Sergeants’ Mess.
The company prides itself on transforming historic Sydney buildings into high-class venues suitable for a mix of corporate and private events.
The refurbishment of the heritage building revitalised saw most attention paid to create “elegant yet understated design features and finishes”.
Design features and finishes include custom made furniture, Catherine Martin carpets and hand-crafted crystal chandeliers sourced from the Czech Republic.
The idea was to create a range of spaces that can be configured to suit various events, with the 180-year-old building also fitted out with new audio-visual technology including wide-screen projectors, plasma screens and wireless internet access.
