About our aspirations
Glyde_Bautovich are architects, urban designers and planners who work together and separately to transform resources, regulations, programs, and ideas into places of beauty.
We believe in the ‘spirit of place’ or genius loci and passionately engage in the art of making meaningful places of distinctive character through a careful process.
We research and analyse client aspirations, economics, demographics, urban structure, history, building typologies and appropriate precedents.
We re-use and revisit these layers that are beneath the surface to inform an appropriate outcome.
The place becomes a palimpsest set within its context.
The experience of the public space, what makes the city or place stick together, becomes rich, activated and vital.
Our analysis feeds into the architectural process which becomes form driven whereby we mould the fabric of the building to engage with nature, capture light and air, in a way that we know will lead to joyful inhabitation.
We breath in information, aspirations and breath out a new space or building as an offering to the people of the city and those who occupy them.

Salts Meats Cheese Restaurant
Erskineville, Sydney
This project is a new interior fit-out located within a new mixed use development in the Inner West Sydney suburb of Erskineville. The area is close to Newtown which has a diverse population of students and young professionals. The space is 150m2 of floor space and comprises a restaurant, pizzeria and bar. The client brief required us to design a warm yet robust space for a sophisticated client demographic and one that engages with established pedestrian street life.
In order to steer away from soulless modernist white spaces we decided to re interpret classical architectural artefacts as part of the design process. We used a doric capital as the basis for a motif. Sometimes this is used as a recessive light fitting, other times as a bar front detail or shelf all interchanging with different materials such as brass, concrete and white marble.
Our decision to use materials usually used on the outside of buildings such as concrete, graffiti art, terracotta tiles and even neon lights, on the inside of this space helps manifest a design that is open to the street and engages with the public realm.
