Located in the portside town of Albany in Western Australia's Great Southern region, the Dog Rock Motel provides a comfortable and friendly atmosphere to accommodate the needs of the holiday guests, and following the assistance of Craig Steere Architects, now offers a quality wine bar, dining facility and function centre for local residents, tourists and business people of Albany.

The design focused on spatial planning to ensure the layout of spaces were highly functional and well connected, whilst also defining smaller zones to create a sense of intimacy and differentiation. A light colour palette was selected for furnishings which contrast well with the warm tones of the custom-designed cabinetwork to create a venue that is timeless, fresh, inviting and friendly.
