Mr Burger Melbourne Central
Architecture - Commercial - Constructed | Commissioner: Mr Burger | Creator: Therefore Studio
The Mr Burger brand started as a single food truck with a brightly coloured identity and is now an established brand of multiple stores and trucks across Melbourne. Beginning as a truck with no fixed location, the brand colours were critical and developed with the intention of being highly recognisable. The physical identity of the brand was transferred from a traditional bricks and motor interface, to the flash of brand colours seen as a truck drove past. This kiosk style store store seeks to play on this point of difference and express the iconic bright orange and cream colours in a new way.
Welcome to Thornbury
Architecture - Commercial - Constructed | Commissioner: Mr Burger | Creator: Therefore Studio
Welcome to Thornbury is a large public space where rotating local food trucks are invited to gather around a permanent garden and bar. The existing site had a long term layering of car related uses which play out in the design, previously having been occupied as a car assembly factory, car showroom and a mechanics workshop. The concept for the venue takes precedence from similar venues around the world where food trucks are widely accepted, particularly in the United States, and includes references to gas stations, truck stops the Las Vegas strip.
