The Chestnut Tree

Melbourne architecture firm Ewert Leaf has transformed an empty shell, sizable ground-floor premises on buzzing Barkly Street, into a beautiful, welcoming local independent bookshop. Ewert Leaf utilised polytec Prime Oak Woodmatt to add warmth and timberprint features throughout the bookshelves, seating areas, and furniture, creating an atmosphere that is cozy for readers to enjoy. The Chestnut Tree is one of Melbourne's best independent bookshops located at West Footscray.
