The Kookai concept stores in the Queen Victoria Building and Castle Towers designed by Elenberg Fraser

The Kookai concept stores in the Queen Victoria Building and Castle Towers in the heart of Sydney’s retail precinct are both a haven for fashion and a significant departure from other Kookai outlets around the country. These stores are designed to act as a cocoon. High, stretched ceilings and undulating walls wrap around the customers, defining the mood of the space while also forming the circulation paths tovarious clothing racks and changing rooms. Natural muted colours provide a serene background to the colourful clothes which reflect off the walls and remaining surfaces. The stores exemplify effective and directed design branding, being magnets for their target market.....more

House Interior | Ashbury Heights San Francisco, California | Nilus Designs

The makeover of a rickety 70’s house on steep lot in Ashbury Heights resulted in a modern light-filled aerie with wide-open expanses of glass capturing views and bringing in natural light. White walls and white terrazo floors allow one to clearly register the changing patterns of the light throughout the day. Balconies on every level connect the spaces to the outdoors, enabling a full immersion into the elements – sun, wind, and fog. Feature elements like the fireplace and kitchen casework were treated like compositional 
objects within the space, clad in rich materials like marble, walnut, and cold-rolled steel.....more

Restaurant Interior | Vienna Space Odyssey | Vienna | Designed By Sohne + Partners

Continuing its previous work for the Comida restaurant in Vienna, Söhne & Partners transformed the basement of theeatery into a modestly decorated space-age club: the Red Room. Cloaked entirely in one shade of red velvet, Red Room's walls, ceiling and furniture merge into one another, connecting the different areas and providing a stark contrast to the club's polished white flooring and several other white features, including the bar and DJ deck.

Influenced by the 1968 science-fiction fi lm 2001: A Space Odyssey, a classic co-written and directed by Stanley Kubrick, the interior radiates an air of calmness enhanced by a sense of sheer lightness. Söhne & Partner clad nearly all surfaces of the club in velvet to add character to the interior design.

Adding a dimension of flexibility to the seating arrangement, red poufs scattered liberally throughout the club float like globules of blood on the translucent grid of white glass. That moving from one place to another in the Red Room is ‘like walking on the moon'. A rectangular white recess in the red sky above all the action not only creates an illusion of height but also accommodates club's lighting system and enchanting mirror balls. Referencing the illuminated fl oors of '70s discos and the roof of Kubrick's spacecraft in 2001, the glass floor amplifies the space and coaxes dancers to practise their moves. Like the rest of the surfaces at Red Room, the floor sparkles in a cascade of elliptical reflections.....more

The glass spheres can be picked up by customers and rotated to view the glasses from different angles.....more
