Barry's Martin Place. A US fitness brand brought to life in one of Sydney's most prominent locations. Every space designed around the brand experience, from the red room to the change rooms to the retail floor.

The brief was to make it feel unmistakably Barry's. Swipe to see how that translated into the build.

The studio we designed for ourselves. No reception. No pretence. Just an open, functional workspace that reflects how we actually work.

Exposed structure, polished concrete and enough room for a pool table.
