| Shop fitout, King Street Newtown, NSW 2003 |
| The Watershed |
| This was a sweet little project. A shopfront re-do for Marrickville and South Sydney Council's little eco-experiment; The Watershed. |
| We had a budget of $7,000 and were told the shop needed to make explicit notions of urban sustainability. So some fun was had with cardboard & plywood. The wall of plywood joinery that separates the shopfront from the offices is full of little nooks & crannies. Useful things open and shut and it is also the home for some mobile plywood & cardboard stools we designed for the space. A very long bench made up of over 350 repeating cardboard sections edges one wall, wearing in slowly over time. |
| The new fitout creates an interesting shopfront to attract people in, gives staff a talking point whilst dividing the public space from the offices behind. |
