Warm wood is combined with the MFC’s colours to create a warm and ‘gentlemen’s club’ feel.  This is combined with memorabilia and text featured on glass panels and cabinets that outlines the club’s history.

The Plus Interiors team has achieved a functional and stylish space that cleverly conveys the essence of the MFC.

Taking its inspiration from the Alice in Wonderland checkerboard, the central area of the laundrette is clad in fabricated grass. Circular cut-outs in the walls reflect the bubbles of washing suds and double as seating.  While wood inspired vinyl is used for both functionality and aesthetics.

This interesting combination of materials generates a contrast with the washing machines, enhanced by the suspended ceiling, to create a unique and stimulating environment.

The second stage, Quay Park Townhouses, is currently under construction and feature 22, multi-level townhouses situated along Park Lane.

The townhouses will act as a transitional element in the landscape linking the mid-sized tower to the neighborhood scale of the central park district.

Featuring 242 apartments, Society is designed specifically to sit in harmony with its surrounds, as it steps up to 9 storeys and then up to 12 storeys to the south.

The design response takes on a duality of form that wraps around itself on elevation.The white rectilinear form harmoniously juxtaposes with a strong, dark curvaceous body that drapes over the lower form.
Appointed like a boutique hotel, Society offers a sophisticated lobby with doorman, ground floor food and beverage precinct including a reception bar and the Suds launderette. The entire building is managed through an intranet from a residential concierge to an in-room music selection.

Residents are encouraged to linger in the sophisticated Society lobby bar, very much like a boutique hotel. Alternatively, residents can choose to work or catch up on the day’s digital social networking in the specifically designed private laptop pods.

The impressive lobby and courtyard bar leads out to a tranquil landscaped bamboo garden. Catch the elevator to the top floor where a glamorous dining room awaits to entertain guests, featuring a generous outdoor balcony complete with roof top spas for the ultimate roof deck, pool or dinner party. A residents gymnasium is also on level 12.
