NAB LABS

Today's customers want to be spoken to individually and they want products that not only perform but which reward them by being good to use. They are demanding products that reflect contemporary needs and desires and these are continuously evolving, giving rise to an ongoing refinement and change in the product offer. Today's customers want effective products and positive, memorable experiences.

CIRRUS: MVR Nomadic Water Conserving Bathroom

Cirrus MVR is a re-locatable modular bathroom built around a central water recycling and purifying unit. The stainless steel module is equipped with a built-in bath, shower, toilet and hand basin. The design intention is to create a bathroom that provides all the services for contemporary bathing and ablutions while using a fraction of the water that current bathroom fittings require.

FLEXI FRAME

Flexi Frame is the first technology demonstrator project from our Hyper House flexible living program. Flexi Frame is designed as a compact living environment, ideal as a second free standing living or entertaining space or as an escape pad. The house packs down into a storage shed and outdoor deck with pergola when not in use. When unpacked the outdoor deck becomes the principal living pavilion with an internal weatherproof inflatable roof covered with a second sunshield canopy for the Australian summer.

PAP

A modular physical environment to access digital content on line from Victoria's leading cultural institutions. We wanted create a sense of a comfortable private space within larger public spaces which users could momentarily call their own while maintaining a high degree of porosity both for security and for arousing interest in the activity from the passing public.

RTA

We researched the processes, technology, history and staffing models of the RTA. The project has focused on a streamlined counter design and a new set of clearly identified destinations within the registry environment. New information zones have been developed and new seating patterns introduced for comfort and user control.

PLANLESS

This house is intended to function as a porous and fluid site of delight and production. The house is understood as an active node within the network of cellular automata that compose the city. It serves to connect the occupants to the physical, social and cultural ferment of the city and it's electronic virtually-extended digital counterpart.

NAB

We were asked to redesign the experience for the retail banking customer for NAB. We researched the processes, technology, history and staffing models of banking and proposed a new relationship between staff and customers. This moved the emphasis from security as the main spatial message to the idea of customer value and conversation between customer and staff.

Hoyts Blacktown

We designed a cinema complex focused on the possibilities of employing emerging technology to create new experiences for cinema goers to engage with cinema. This project was seen by the client as the next step in an ongoing research project to create a new set of experiences around cinema.

Hoyts Melbourne Central

We designed a facility with diverse destinations, each providing a different kind of experience. The focus of our design was on the social experience as our research indicated that this was the differentiating dimension of the contemporary commercial cinema experience. We introduced new technologies to provide cinema-goers with film information and access to trailers. We focused on a programmable space capable of providing a changing environment in response to the varied menu of contemporary cinema.

ACMI

We designed and constructed a series of modular, mobile, reconfigurable capsules designed to provide a high standard of cinematic experience while capturing a sense of domestic informality. Extensive research was undertaken in cultural, historical and technological factors that could inform the richness of the design outcome. The capsules were designed to house production facilities as well as entertainment facilities. They will eventually be used off site as ambassador museum portals.
