Victoria Ave. Foyer

BRIEF:

Create an inviting entrance for Victoria Ave. Foyer to serve as the Chatswood RSL’s central hub, where guests are welcomed and guided to the variety of experiences and eateries on offer.

EXPERIENCE:

Nestled within the vibrant, multicultural heart of Chatswood, Chatswood RSL is a relaxed and welcoming venue for family gatherings, catch ups with friends, and celebrating life’s special moments. The lobby is designed to capture this spirit; a first impression that exudes warmth, defined by natural, organic forms that flow seamlessly and harmoniously.
A sculptural water feature welcomes guests into the space and sets a tranquil tone, complementing the subtle oriental design influences, from shoji screens to a Japanese Zen Garden-inspired carpet. Touches of red, blue, and gold – each carrying Feng Shui significance – are thoughtfully woven throughout the venue. Mountain motifs – symbolising stability, support, and protection – are incorporated to strengthen and balance the space.
Earthy tones and rich textures add depth and tactility, while sculptural elements and ambient lighting enliven the senses. A seamless connection to the venue’s façade unifies the design, creating cohesion through the Club, inside and out.
