The concept for the fit-out was to introduce graphic and sculptural objects that seamlessly tied into the existing architecture. Drawing the occupant from the strong shapes at the macro-scale and architecture of the building, slowly down to the micro, through a series of contrasts in material and form. A concrete exterior, stainless shopfront and terrazzo floors provided the base. We introduced galvanised steel to sit against the stainless, concrete-coloured polished plaster to bring the exterior of the building inside, then recycled spotted gum, green upholstered and a stepped, white tiled wall for warmth and fun.
