Project Overview

Located on the corner of Ralph Street and Shirley Street in the inner-city suburb of Alexandria, Clarion is a bespoke 6-storey mixed-use, boutique development with 18 apartments and ground floor retail. The project was aimed at a discerning, design lead audience and centres on the theme of the area’s transition from industrial wasteland to dynamic neighbourhood, steeped in promise and intrigue. Clarion was launched in March with immediate sales.

Project Brief

Clarion is a unique development in a newly emerging suburb. The surrounding area is growing out of its industrial roots to become a new creative enclave and home to many of Sydney’s artisans and designers. The brief was to create a sales display suite as part of the broader campaign which responded to the industrial character of the area and that spoke to its design astute audience.

Project Innovation/Need

The sales display suite is an intuitive response to the perceived audience - intelligent and sophisticated in tone. It draws inspiration directly from the architecture and design of the building itself, bringing key elements including the industrial tone and concrete facade to life.

Design Challenge

The challenge was to capture the personality and idiosyncrasies of the audience of the area — discerning, design lead, ahead of the curve and looking to be at the heart of the creative energy of the city.

User Experience

The campaign was launched in March with immediate sales.
