To transform a drab Melbourne Olympic Park function space into a premium entertainment space for VIP guests of the Australian Open.

Accommodating multiple configurations depending on daily guest numbers, the O experience not only had to be beautiful, but it also needed to be highly functional.

Unexpected, Atmospheric, Extraordinary. Challenging the conventions of ‘premium’, we designed a space that was colourful but elegant, simple but layered, sophisticated but playful. Our concept strikes a balance between sophisticated and whimsical, creating an exclusive experience unique to the Australian Open.

The play on modern architecture contrasting with luscious materials and a playful yet refined colour palette imbue a sense of the unexpected. Luscious greens contrasted with delicate sun-faded pastel tones with a pop of summer coral add a layer of playfulness and dimension. Bold graphic lighting features add another element of depth to O’s harmonious style.
