Ultimo is filled with a very diverse demographics and that is why the concept of this project will work around “Unity and Familiarity” to give sense of belonging to everyone. The design schemes are inspired by the Australian Desert that will be focused on the Ground Floor and the Australian Coastlines on the First Floor.

The interior aesthetics will implement Ultimo’s eclectic style, its industrial history with the contemporary urban development. Youthful and playful design will also be incorporated to appeal to the high young demographics in Ultimo.

Lastly, the design process and material selection will be focusing on sustainability and environmentally friendly materials where possible, as well as maximising the use of local products to support the Australian design community.
