Client Brief:
To design 3 commercial spaces on a single level.
  • Incorporating luxurious design
  • ​Durable materiality
  • Encompassing the city skyline within the design 

Located in the Sydney suburb of Edgecliff, the Mnemosyne serviced floor project offers 3 x individually designed commercial spaces on a single level, targeted at those staying in the Mnemosyne serviced apartments, and the general public. 

 

The design process began by mind-mapping various commercial options to fit these spaces, taking into consideration the unique, angular shape of the building, the public's needs, and those residing in the apartments. A restaurant, outdoor bar, and gym were chosen as the final 3 space choices. 

 

Taking into consideration the geometry of the building, inspiration and mood boards were developed to showcase the distinctiveness of the building, whilst also creating a practical yet luxurious feel to each space. When designing, it was essential to ensure consistency across the 3 areas, whilst also giving each space its own unique design due to the different service requirements. Following the inspiration and mood board creations, AutoCAD floorplans were developed, taking into consideration each space's service requirements such as bathrooms, changerooms, and kitchens as well as furniture placement.

 

When developing the overall design, I wanted to ensure a high-end and luxurious feel was carried throughout the 3 spaces. The design saw the incorporation of floor-to-ceiling windows to bring the outdoors in, allow natural light to flow through the spaces, and showcase the beautiful views of the city skyline. As the space was for commercial use, careful consideration was given to the materials selected. It was important to ensure all materials would be durable, given the constant use of furniture in the space, but also complementary to the luxurious atmosphere being created. Materials selected included white and black marble, dark timbers, brushed gold, brushed black steel, textured plaster, and durable upholstery. These materials when incorporated into the spaces alongside an array of greenery and accessories saw the spaces come to life. Following this, rendering of the various spaces was completed.
