SMLXL Projects completed the Internal cosmetic upgrade of Kitchen by
Mike, located next to the well-known Wintergarden Building in Sydney.
The 100-seat venue, situated in a heritage site at 1 Bent Street, is an
evolution of the successful Kitchen by Mike Canteen in Alexandria.
The brief therefore was to maintain a sense of continuity of the initial
restaurant, but also creating a fresh vibe.
The project carried some key challenges, including noise and dust
management and ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounds, in
particular to The Wintergarden Building. To ensure minimal fuss, the
SMLXL Project team strictly adhered to the building management
conditions as well as implementing site specific rules for the on-site team.Mosman Rowers

SMLXL Projects were delighted to work on the refurbishment of Mosman
Rowers Club, one of the oldest and most distinguished waterfront clubs
in Sydney. The three-level sports club is situated right over the water
in Mossman Bay, a location that offers an impressive view of the bay.
However, this heritage building was in need of a facelift, with extensive
water damage throughout. The level of refurbishment and repair required
within such an iconic building was a huge undertaking – made even more
challenging by tight deadlines.
The SMLXL team set about preparing a detailed programme of works to
manage the total refurbishment of the club and repair the damaged area
all within a tight deadline of 12 weeks.
It was essential to the client that the waterfront club be running at full
capacity within the provided timeline. Through meticulous planning and
site management, SMLXL were able to deliver works and exceed all client
expectations.The Republic Hotel

Vicinity Centres are one of Australia’s leading retail property groups,
managing many retail centres across all states nationally. In 2019, Vicinity
Centres appointed SMLXL Projects to manage the construction works
required at Carlingford Court Shopping Centre. This included an upgrade
of the existing food court, Amenities and the outdoor dining area which
also incorporated works to the main entry of the centre.
The works required were specific to ‘Shopping Centre Refurbishment and
Construction within a trading environment’, so it was therefore expected
that SMLXL Projects had a robust understanding of staging requirements
in a live environment and support mechanisms required to facilitate the
works with minimal fuss.
SMLXL designed a tailored and specific programme of works that was
carried out in a manner that ensured minimal disruption to the existing
foodcourt tenancies and all adjoining tenancies. It allowed for staging of
works so that the foodcourt could remain trading, with particular attention
being paid to the seating areas. These were zoned according to specific
stages, meaning that only a small amount of the existing foodcourt seating
area was closed whilst the work was being carried out. SMLXL Projects
strict adherence to schedules and staged programmes of work allowed for
the centre tenants to continue trading without loss of business.Pricing Schedule SMLXL Operational Information Page | 65
