    Ep 6. Architecture & Appetite: With Simon Gloftis

    In this special on-location episode of A Date With Design, we step out of the studio and into the world of Brisbane’s evolving hospitality scene, joined by celebrated restaurateur Simon Gloftis. Together we explore how truly memorable dining experiences are created — not just through food, but through atmosphere, architecture, and the quiet rituals that surround a meal. Through the stories behind Sushi Room and SK Steak, Simon shares how design, mood and materiality shape the character of a restaurant. From the cinematic intimacy of Sushi Room’s omakase theatre to the bold, celebratory energy of SK Steak, this episode looks at how great venues become destinations in their own right. A must-listen for aspiring restaurateurs, hospitality leaders and designers wanting insight into how great venues are conceived, designed and brought to life.

    In this episode, Arielle and Jill take you on a decadent Melbourne design date. From cathedral-like dining rooms and iconic Melbourne bars to neon-lit dive joints and cult ramen spots, they unpack how great hospitality design shapes atmosphere, behaviour, and memory. The conversation then turns from plates to prompts and the future of the interior design industry, with a deep dive into AI tools for designers, prompt writing, visualisation, ethics, and creativity — featuring insights from interior designer and AI coach Rhiannon Lee of Oleander & Finch. Plus, Arielle and Jill go head-to-head in a game entirely designed by ChatGPT. A must-listen podcast for those curious about how technology and intuition are redefining modern design.

    Ep 4. Checking In: A Retro Motel Romance

    A Retro Motel Romance takes us on location to the Gold Coast for Open House 2025, where we explore two beautifully restored mid-century motels and unpack why these roadside icons still matter. From neon palms, breeze blocks and terrazzo entries to poolside culture and pastel perfection, Jill and Arielle dive into Australia’s love affair with motel design and the optimism of post-war travel culture. We wander through lobbies, guest rooms and courtyards, reflect on personal holiday memories, and get real about preservation versus progress — asking whether nostalgia is a design trap or a love letter worth keeping. Along the way, we talk adaptive reuse, heritage hospitality design, and the designers, artists and motel owners keeping these retro gems alive. It’s coastal-cool, candid, and a little bit romantic — proof that great design doesn’t just age well, it flirts with you forever. Grab a cocktail, hit the highway, and check in with A Date With Design. We cover: 00:00 – Introductions 02:38 – The Icebreaker - The First Sip - Retro Revival 13:44   – The Entrée – Gold Coast Open House 21:17 – The Main Course – On Location: Retro Motel Tours 36:40 – The Spark – Current Design Muse - Alex Proba  44:15 – The Real Talk - Why Preservation Matters 53:21 – The Sweet Bite - Ellison Studios Cocktail of the Week - The Pink Poodle Think neon signs humming at dusk, terrazzo underfoot, and that first sip signalling you’ve officially checked out of real life. 60 ml Gin 20 ml Sugar syrup 30 ml Bundaberg Pink Grapefruit Sparkling 30 ml fresh lemon juice Ice To garnish pink grapefruit segments or a red glacial cherry, a sprig of rosemary, and dried edible cocktail petals.

    Ep 1. The First Date

    Welcome to the very first episode of A Date With Design…  In this episode, The First Date, we set the tone for what’s to come. Our first Design Date takes us underground to Central, Brisbane — an award-winning hospitality space where history, theatre, and modern dining collide. We experience the venue through a diner’s eye, unpacking first impressions, atmosphere, layout, comfort, and those all-important details that shape how a space feels long after the meal ends. From its layered design narrative to the way food, service, and setting work together, Central becomes our benchmark for what a truly considered hospitality experience looks like.
