BRIEF
• Provide a welcoming and memorable first impression for patrons and guests of the Bankstown Sports Club and Mercure Hotel.
• Integrate intuitive wayfinding elements in a space flooded with natural light, facilitating easy navigation through the venue.
EXPERIENCE
We utilised organic forms to establish harmony within the venue’s irregular floor plan, providing a tranquil and inviting atmosphere for guests.
Elevated ceiling heights and suspended design elements enhance the double-height space, allowing natural light to permeate and illuminate the area.
A neutral base palette, enriched with dramatic textures and tonal variations, complements and creates cohesion with the alternate Restwell Street Lobby entrance.
High-contrast black accents and polished surfaces are juxtaposed with a tonal base palette, achieving a timeless – yet theatrical – result.
Ambient lighting accentuates the textural finishes, adding depth and shadow to the foyer space.
