When considering new locations, it is our intention to weave ourselves into the fabric of the street and add something of merit rather than impose a discordant presence.

In 2003, in an underground nook in the Melbourne bayside suburb of St Kilda, we hosted our first in-store customers. The space – once a narrow ramp descending into an underground carpark – set the benchmark for future architectural ambitions. In seeking new locations, our first consideration is always to work with what is already in place; we tread lightly with respect for the past, present and future.
