Located in a ground-floor retail space in stylish Carrington Street, the Sydney
CBD Design Studio provides a retail presence but is also well placed for the many
architectural practices and major builders located in or around the city centre.
From the street this could be a high-end gallery and upon entering this perception
is reinforced.The showroom area is dominated not by product displays but two brick
feature walls that have a strong “wow factor.”The “Illusions Wall”made from Bowral
Bricks
®
Charolais Cream bricks, fans out in three dimensions while the “Grunge Wall”
pays tribute to the area’s industrial past.
Both walls and the minimalist interior were designed by Siren Design Group.The
attractive flooring is Wormy Chestnut
™
from Auswest Timbers
®
, part of the Brickworks
Building Products group.
Most products are discretely stored in cabinets and brought out onto one of the
large work benches as required.This allows the staff to work with clients and help
refine their selections.
Architects are encouraged to bring their clients and use the well-equipped
boardroom.The facilities have also hosted industry events, such as AIA gatherings.
The CBD Design Studio is located at 50 Carrington Street, Sydney, close to Wynyard
Station. It is open from 9 am ‘til 6 pm weekdays and 9 am ‘til noon Saturday, other
times by appointment.Telephone 02 9830 7380.
