NARRATIVE:

Winangali is the next exciting food venture of renowned WA Chef Paul Iskov. Winangali is an intimate dining space that provides the user with an evolving theme of connectedness, bush food innovation, and an experience intended to connect a diner to country, spirit, and community.

Winangali means "to listen" in the language of our First Nations, Ngyiampaa people.  The space takes on the persona of gratitude, respect, and all emotions we can not see or even explain at times.

With Chef Paul's firm belief that Mother Nature is our most valued Teacher, the design of Winangali required holistic thinking to bring Winangali to life. Focusing on local and natural materials, it was important the community in historical Lake Mungo could contribute their skills, knowledge and culture towards the project.

The interior and exterior of Winangali cast a true reflection of the archaeological location with the abundance of natural light, an organic colour palette and, most notably, a spatial design that accentuates the landscape it resides.
