Avokado fit-out

The use of the Resene Mondo colour family is continued on the flooring, where contrasting Resene Half Mondo (lizard brown) and Resene Half Drought stripes are painted using Resene Uracryl 402 onto the existing concrete floor. The striped flooring corresponds with the ceiling features above and is a focal point of the design; leading the customer into the store, drawing them down towards the change rooms.

The upholstered bulkhead was designed as a unique feature to divide the length of the store into more intimate retailing zones, as well as delineate the location of the sales counter.

Providing a great change room experience was essential, as a large component of the sales process is conducted within this space. Soft atmospheric lighting alongside a selection of rich colours, wallpapers, fabrics and furnishings creates a diverse and intimate change room experience in an environment where harsh finishes and bright lights would not be forgiving on exposed bodies.

Here, no change room is identical, with each wallpaper and paint colour chosen to complement the corporate colour and for their rich saturation of colour. With hues like Resene Bismark (greyed blue), Resene Hillary (green toned beige), Resene Inside Back (greyed green), Resene Mulberry (silky blue red), Resene Passion (deep grape), Resene Rose Bud Cherry (red violet) and Resene Toledo (sulphur red) the palette is warm and comfortably dusty and soothing.
