PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Capsule EmporiumMelbourne

Brand is an integral component in everything we create – be it a product presentation, spatial design or master-planning exercise. We see someone’s personal brand as integral as the brand a range is manufactured under.

With this approach our goal is always to extract the dna of that brand and articulate it into a physical space, allowing you, the customer or employee to physically touch and feel the brand.

In doing this, we immerse ourselves in the brands strategy to ensure we are aligned in

our thinking and where possible stretch that thinking to consider ways of evolving, growing or completely breaking the mould of what has come before.

Our designs take us from small intimate boutique spaces, through to large format buildings, functional workplaces with varied bespoke product design along the way.

A relentless goal of delivering spaces that add to the life of those that use them drives our team to continually explore the edges of what is considered normal.

BILLABONGPACIFIC FAIR

PORTFOLIO

Prospace were engaged to collaborate with Billabong on developing the Generation 3 store concept in December 2015. The first flagship site at Pacific Fair shopping centre saw an approach that delivers a minimal aesthetic with a simple but strong materials palette consisting of concrete, brick, timber and steel finishes.

The shopfront design evolves the previous brand concept delivering painted black timber boards clad to the fascia, window surrounds and bulkhead to create a strong framing device for the interior finishes and importantly the product within the store.

A new hero video wall creates a feature at the back of the space and allows for the customer to be immersed in brand culture and an action sports lifestyle in the store. The application of the muted materials palette throughout the rest of the store allows for strong architectural forms to be defined, whilst ensuring brand imagery and product feature as the hero and don’t compete with a space that is heavy on texture.

The Pacific Fair store has become the platform for the Generation 3 concept to be delivered globally with stores in Israel and Asia already being designed using this new concept.

MIRVAC SALES BOUTIQUEPAVILLIONS SALES BOUTIQUE

PORTFOLIO

Prospace were engaged late 2015 to design Mirvac’s largest residential sales boutique in Australia. The team worked with a brief to deliver ‘Everyday Luxury’ in an interior space that spoke both about the personality of the development itself whilst delivering Mirvac’s consistent brand values in a physical space through sharp interior and joinery details and a carefully selected materials palette.

The space reflected the interior and exterior of the residential development through the use of planting, a feature tree in the centre of the space and bespoke designed joinery, seating and tables.

BURLEIGH BREWINGBURLEIGH HEADS, QLD

PORTFOLIO

Prospace were approached to design the new home for Burleigh Brewing Co. A beer brewing company that is an institution in Burleigh on the Gold Coast. Our team took on an ambitious project to design a building that housed the brewing facility, a new bar and offices all under one very large roof!

Prospace designed, and managed the build of the space that opened early March 2016. The design of the interior and exterior focused on a simple materials palette that balanced industrial with rustic finishes, with the use of concrete, timber and fibre cement cladding. Lighting inside and out played a big part in setting the right tone, and a bar made from cast concrete slabs, pressed in timber, with a hot rolled steel top provides a striking feature in the space.

It was a privilege to work with such a fantastic client and deliver the vision for their new larger space that critically needed to remain rooted in authenticity and community and portray the company’s brand values of ‘Balance, Character and Soul’.

MR SIMPLEPACIFIC FAIR

PORTFOLIO

A second store for Mr Simple, this time at the newly opened extension to Pacific Fair on the Gold Coast, Queensland. The brief from the client this time was to deliver a Palm Springs inspired store that aligned with the location of the mall by the coast.

We designed a store that was intended to effortlessly stand out from the crowd. The shopfront entirely in white, rendered to deliver texture and emphasise the architectural form of the bulkhead and portal certainly turns head in the mall.

The interior takes inspiration from Californian hotels such as Ace Hotel with slatted screens that double up as feature walls for product and VM display. The minimal colour and materials palette allow the brands strong merchandising style take the lead in the space.

TONY BIANCOPACIFIC FAIR

PORTFOLIO

Prospace recently designed and managed the build of the new Tony Bianco store at Pacific Fair on the Gold Coast. Continuing our relationship with Australia’s leading designer of women’s fashion footwear.

Our client allowed us to really take the design concept to the next level with this store.

As such our team designed a space that exudes the same luxury as Tony Bianco’s product, by delivering a high level of detail through joinery design, lighting and interior features such as the rear illuminated mirror at the back of the store along with luxurious travertine clad columns and plinths. The evolution of the store concept is an exciting step for Tony Bianco that we look forward to developing in future stores.

MIRVAC SALES BOUTIQUETHE FINERY SALES BOUTIQUE

PORTFOLIO

The Finery Sales boutique located in Mirvac’s then head office cafe needed to deliver on all of the key elements of the development in Waterloo, Sydney, whilst also allowing for the cafe to function as normal, day to day. Our design importantly needed to integrate in to the space creating key touch points that spoke to the material finishes and joinery elements of the Finery Development.

We delivered a space that included newly designed joinery to hold styling elements and content on the development itself, along with a new model table, newly sourced furniture pieces throughout, along with new cladding and upholstery to existing furniture to elevate its appearance.

A timber frame wall with graphics, lighting and new signage creates a strong feature in the space that ensures it is unmistakably on brand with the Finery Development. Overall new wall finishes, new floor finishes, joinery elements and soft furnishings completely transformed the existing space, not only in to a sales suite that suited the identity of the Waterloo Development but also in to a cafe that was elevated and reinvigorated.

Mr Simple is a gentlemen’s outfitter for all occasions with stores throughtout Australia and New Zealand. The brand approached Prospace Design Studios to design and build their latest flagship store in Brisbane at Indooroopilly. Mr Simple were not interested in blending in with the crowd with their store design, and our design team produced a completely unique design for the mall that otherwise predominantly features full height glazed shopfronts.The shopfront from full height timber slats

creates a dynamic and compelling beginning to the journey in to this new store that features steel and timber custom joinery for fixtures and merchandising displays throughout. Needless to say the store which recently opened at the beginning of October 2014, is generating quite a buzz.

MR SIMPLEINDOOROOPILLY, BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA

PORTFOLIO

The elegant timber slat shopfront for Mr Simple creates a

dynamic entry in to the store, which is big on scale.

The monolithic concrete look counter sits in front of a wall that features a

continuation of the timber slat design language from the shopfront.

Following an extensive exploration of the brand and the delivery of a new design concept, the first store to have this applied was South Yarra. With a dominant shell to work with, the store required simplification and some warmth in the finishes palette.

Solid Iron Bark feature plinths, that were backlit and underlit against a minimal white wall, provide the true contrast of textures in this space, whilst the cement

feature displays, ornate leather screens and plush ottomans complete the story.

The goal was to take the existing Tony Bianco design and push it into the future. Make it feel like the product was sitting in Soho or the Meat Packing District of NYC. All feedback to date is that the new design brings the quality of the store in line with the quality of the product and creates an amazing platform for the next generation of Tony Bianco stores.

TONY BIANCOCHAPEL STREET, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

PORTFOLIO

Varying height concrete look plinths stand in front of leather strap screens to deliver

a luxurious but raw aesthetic within the Tony Bianco Chapel Street store.

Concrete look plinths sit on top of elegant steel frames, a design language

that is carried through to shelving units and wall fixtures and is intended

to further play on the balance between raw and luxurious materials.
