COVA is proud to have contributed engineering services to the transformation of the former Crafty Squire into Hickens Hotel - a $6.5 million, four-level redevelopment in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD.

The revitalised venue blends heritage charm with modern hospitality, featuring Australia’s first Carlton Draught bar, multiple levels of dynamic bar and dining spaces, and a stunning rooftop offering city views.

Working alongside Australian Venue Co., Red Design Group, COVA supported the delivery of this landmark hospitality project with tailored building services solutions that meet both the operational needs and unique design ambitions of the venue.

This project is a strong example of our capability in delivering refurbishments within live urban environments, particularly hospitality and entertainment settings.

Congratulations to all involved on bringing this new Melbourne hospitality venue to life.
