The brief was to design the interior, logo, internal branding and signage which gave Material Creative the opportunity to design a coherent project. Branding gravitated towards using geometric shapes and bright colours to create a unique vibrant feel and visually strong. This helped influence and shape the interior and signage

The budget was modest so it required being innovative with their use of materials. Palette crates were used for shelving and joinery, while roofing tin was an alternative to stainless steel. This allowed Material Creative to allocate funds to other elements such as the tiling, a key feature to tying in the branding with the fit-out. Plumbing was left exposed and painted with copper paint for an illusion of aged piping. The laser cut polystyrene sign is wrapped in coloured wool and hung so that it catches your eye as you enter the cafe.

It was important that the shopfront was distinct, but could also provide privacy behind the coffee machine. Vinyl decal gave privacy and was an extension of the geometric shapes in the logo and created a ‘peep hole’ into the cafe after hours, that glowed with a pop of colour.

The inspiring design was lead by Sean Tanner of Cagley and Tanner based in Las Vegas, with significant input from Crown’s design team and transforms the ‘dark’ imagery of gaming into a bright, fresh and modern entertainment complex where entertainment is available for the whole family. The imagery has been enhanced by the extensive use of copper, brass, glass, acrylics, light veneers and solid timber, dramatic fabrics with internationally styled lighting and light fittings.
Shears and Mac were involved with the project from commencement, supplying and installing joinery and architectural features along with a range of upholstered furniture and banquette seating. It was a pleasure working with Crown, Cagley and Tanner and Probuild and we look forward to future projects with this group of professionals.

The Task Lighting offers a more practical approach with the use of cool white lights ideal for the kitchen work zone. These lights are perfect for bringing out colours and fine structures, such as in food, and can be discreetly installed in wall units directly above the work surface.

Alternatively, immerse your living room with Mood Lighting. The dining table is bathed in gentle light for a long, leisurely dinner and in the background, mood lighting creates a captivating sense of depth.

Prospace were approached by Sector 9 to value engineer and source their existing longboard display fixture.  Working closely with our friends at Sector 9 and our manufacturing partners in China, the ProspaceAsia team have managed the cost effective production and global distribution for medium volume batch orders to locations around the world.

The longboard display fixture is a flat pack design to minimise shipping costs so is supplied with full assembly instructions developed in-house by Prospaces experienced design staff.  Tools are also included in each package for simple problem free assembly by a member of staff at the displays final destination.

After successful production and distribution of the display rack Prospace were then asked to develop a display shelf to complement the original fixture. This shelf is designed to effortlessly slip into one of the slots provided for a skateboard and allows for display of related skate hardware.

With our team of New Zealanders, Australians and Chinese based in our China office just about any object or product can be sourced and shipped to any location around the globe. Over the last 6 years our Prospace Asia office has established an extensive and reliable supply network allowing product requests to be handled promptly and sourced at significantly reduced cost to what is available locally in New Zealand and Australia markets.

Starting at the spacious Salon at the front of the house, to The Library towards the centre before arriving at The Conservatory toward the rear. This features a ‘green’ wall of pot plants, a central catwalk and tall glass pivot doors leading into a luxurious fitting room area.  The site itself was very challenging with a very low central ceiling and lift shafts as well as multiple columns.

Innovative use of architectural features such as corbels and ceiling roses are used to create display zones and support merchandise. Ornate Victorian verandah fretwork, along with the unexpected use of light blue paint to the ceiling, conveys a luminous airy conservatory feel to the space deep within the shop.

A designated Web Lounge, complete with interactive built-in iPad stations and free Wi-Fi, is housed within the Conservatory space. This further closes the gap between the “on-line” and “off-line” shopping experience. The goal was to bring quirky elements to surprise and delight Glassons loyal customers and win new shoppers to the brand.
