2. CONCEPT: INDIGENOUS TRIBUTE
ERNEST PLACE, CROWS NEST
CAFE BALAJA
HOSPITALITY PROJECT

3. Martina Hayes
Thousands of years ago, the Eora tribe used to live on the
northern side of Sydney Harbour where the cafe is located
today. The design is supposed to pay tribute to the people
once lived on this land.
This is what a pedestrian sees walking by the cafe.
The curved counter is located opposite the entry
attracting by-passers.
Stars guided
While indigenous people used the
stars to navigate their way, today’s
patrons are guided into the cafe by a
solar powered glow path. It is made
from fluorescent paint coated stones
embedded in the flooring.ENTRY

Displaying today’s specials, the wall behind the counter is
painted with chalk paint and hides unsightly dishes in an

The colour scheme
The tonal inversion with three
pastels and orange
in a full hue gives
the traditional
indigenous
colours a
modern twist.
Cosy lounge cave
The furniture
Inspired by indigenous people making caves
out of tree branches or bark, the cafe possesses
a modern cave. The timber wall and ceiling
structure around cosy lounge seating is made
out of plywood.

5. Martina Hayes
Sharing stories
Indigenous people gathered around the camp
fire sharing dreamtime stories with their family
and tribe members.
Modern camp fire
The cafe has its own interpretation of an open fire at its doorstep. Patrons can enjoy drinks after
work or catching up with friends around a safe ethanol fire place, lolling on the hammock or
sitting on one of the rock stools.

7. RETAIL PROJECT
CONCEPT: MAKING A DIFFERENCE
CLOTH&CO
396 OXFORD STREET, PADDINGTON

8. Martina Hayes
The brief Design and plan a creative retail space including
display systems, visual merchandising and branding.
Selling homewares, fashion and accessories
that are handmade in India, Cloth & Co’s
aim is helping alleviate poverty,
fostering women’s empowerment, cultural
sustainability and social change.
What a difference a
purchase can make
Getting a hand loomed travel wrap from
Cloth & Co in Sydney can act like a stone
thrown into the water causing a ripple
effect. The purchase provides a fair income
for an Indian woman to support herself and
her family.
This ripple effect drives the design of
the retail store.
It might enable her to get better education
for her children who in turn are able to lead a
better life when they are grown up.
The design solution to include educational
elements and to be communicated by building
a 3D model.

9. Martina Hayes
The Floorplan
Ground floor
First floor
Ceiling ripples
Just like water ripples, the floorplan has a concentric layout
that is mirrored in the wall, ceiling and floor structure. Using
renewable and natural materials throughout the shop,
both wall and ceiling circles have a white washed plywood
finish while the floor is made out of Australian Blackbutt timber.

10. Martina Hayes
Shop front
The above image of the 3D model shows the shop front with three layers of ripples: clear glass
panels, liquid crystal glass panels and a perforated metal screen behind.
Liquid crystal glass panels
distort the view and
therefore attract
attention from
people walking by
the shop.
Posters put up in
the retail outlet are
telling the story of the
people who crafted
the merchandise.
Timber display
boxes are
suspended from
the ceiling using
a simple natural
rope.

11. Martina Hayes
A Gong makes
an audible
difference
The Video well
tells stories
Centre piece
of the shop is a
huge Indian
bronze gong.
Suspended from
the ceiling the
gong is placed
directly on top of
the video well.
A hole cut into the slab and
secured by a glass balustrade
allows shoppers to peak
through to the basement
onto a video screen.
Surrounded by bench
seating, shoppers can
enjoy a break while
being educated about
how the garments and
homewares in the shop
are crafted.
Containing the
branding and being
cladded with dry stone,
the point of sale is
found in the rear of the
shop. Behind its back
wall is the change room
located.

CONCEPT: DROOG - JUST ADD WATER
OFFICE SPACE FOR DROOG

23. Martina Hayes
Droog is a conceptual Dutch design
company situated in Amsterdam,
Netherlands. Droog works with
independent designers to design
and realise products such as furniture
and lightings, but they also design
exhibitions
and events.
The company The brief
Develop and design
Droog’s new office in
Sydney in a team of
3 designers. The
requirement is to
accomodate
53 staff members
in the space
KITCHEN
GREENHOUSE
The concept
As Droog means ‘dry’ in English, the concept
‘Droog - just add water’ is about the interplay
between dry and wet.
Dry stands for reason and intelligence, whereas
wet represents imagination and creativity. In
nature, the best outcome is reached when dry
and wet are in perfect harmony. This is also true
for the design process; the perfect balance
between reason and creatitivy achieves the
most amazing design results.

Branding written
in water
Coming out of the lift, the first thing a
visitor will see is a water fountain that
displays the company’s name with drops
of water just like in the image on the left.

Droog illuminates

Coming as flexible concrete on a
roll, concrete canvas just needs
water to be wrapped around the
reception desk. Once dry, this
finish forms a thin
and water proof
concrete layer.

25. Martina Hayes
Greenhouse for
recreation and events
Located in the heart of the office
space is a greenhouse that
represents the ‘wet’ area
where staff can have
have their lunch
or just a break
to fuel their
creativity.
Body movements
get the creative
juices flowing. The
swing by Droog is
an essential part
of the greenhouse
