Having decided to take on the full conversion + refurbishment of an old run down warehouse that her family owned, the franchise owner engaged us to help her develop her vision for a multipurpose space, and to support her in bringing it to life.

The clients’ original idea was to clad the rear wall of reception in plywood, which was a popular interior finish at the time.

We developed her idea into cladding two walls and the ceiling in ply panelling with negative detailing, which has made a stunning feature of the double height space.

We also suggested shifting away from the traditional Harcourts signage, instead opting for a black powder-coated steel logo to compliment the folded steel reception counter, and industrial aesthetic throughout.
