Studio Tonic celebrates with Wine

What an alcoholic few months we have had!  Studio Tonic was engaged by National Wine Industry representatives, Wine Australia, Winemaker's Federation of Australia, Grape and Wine and Research and Development Corporation and the Wine Grape Growers Association. This consortium wished to return to its roots at Industry House. The double storey 1,000m2 office building is co-located at the National Wine Centre, Botanic Road, Hackney.

  

The dynamic and vibrant boardroom and breakout spaces can be linked together with operable walls, as well as open onto a newly created outdoor eating area overlooking grape vines. The striking carpet is reminiscent of aerial views of vineyard regions and was custom coloured by Studio Tonic for the project.

The iconic curved rammed earth building provided a strong backdrop for Studio Tonic's design concept, with fitout colours and textures sourced from nature.  By removing built form within the space to create an open workspace environment, light and fabulous botanic views are made available to all staff members.

 

   

Small nods to the wine industry, from grape growing to wine making and the end product, are subtly visible throughout. Graphic elements applied to glazing film, and to workstations, were stylised from hillside vineyards, vines, leaves, and the bubbles in sparkling wine!

   

The client group have had excellent feedback from their staff and visitors, who are settling into their fabulous new environment, taking full advantage of the breakout and outdoor eating area during the summer months.  

Thanks to the trust and faith of the clients, the Wine Australia Consortium fitout is another successful project for Studio Tonic.
