SITE CONTEXT & HISTORY

THE SITE SITS WITHIN THE ‘STRAND ARCADE’, A FIVE-STOREY VICTORIAN-ERA COMMERCIAL BUILDING WHICH INCLUDES RETAIL STORES AND HOSPITALITY PREMISES. THE STRAND ARCADE IS LOCATED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE QVB AND GOWINGS BUILDING, BETWEEN PITT STREET MALL AND GEORGE STREET.

STRAND ARCADE

THE SURROUNDING AREA IS A MIXTURE OF LAND USES, PRIMARILY BEING RETAIL, COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USES. THE STRAND ITSELF IS A STATE HERITAGE ITEM KNOWN AS: 1780 COMMERCIAL BUILDING ‘STRAND ARCADE’ INCLUDING BUILDING AND LIGHTWELLS. HOWEVER IT IS NOT LOCATED IN A HERITAGE CONSERVATION AREA. THE STRAND WAS DESIGNED BY ENGLISH ARCHITECT JOHN SPENCER, BUILT IN 1891 AND OPENED IN 1892. IT IS THE ONLY ARCADE IN SYDNEY REMAINING IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM TODAY. THE ARCADE WAS ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS THE ‘CITY ARCADE’ OR ‘ARCADE STREET’. IN 1891 IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE FAMOUS LONDON STREET THAT LINKS THE CITY OF LONDON AND THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER. THE STRAND WAS LONDON’S STYLISH THEATRE, HOTEL AND SHOPPING STREET IN THE EARLY 1900S. RESTORATION WORK WAS CARRIED OUT IN THE 1970S, ALTHOUGH A FIRE OCCURRED ON THE 25 MAY 1976 AND THE ARCADE WAS PARTLY DESTROYED. DURING THE RESTORATION, CONTRACTORS FORTUNATELY FOUND A SHIPWRIGHT WHO HAD SIMILAR AUSTRALIAN RED CEDAR LOGS TO THE ORIGINAL THAT WAS USED BEFORE THE FIRE. THIS ENABLED THE SHOP FRONTS TO BE AN EXACT REPLICA OF THE ORIGINAL INTERNAL SHOPPING FACADES. THE STRAND ARCADE RE-OPENED IN 1977.

MODERN DAY, THE STRAND HAS TRANSFORMED INTO A PREMIUM FASHION AND RETAIL DESTINATION HOUSING BOTH AUSTRALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL DESIGNERS, DINING HUB AND POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION.

KATIE LOVE CASE STUDY 02 BRIONI SHOWROOM, LONDON ‘“IT’S MORE LIKE A PRIVATE RESIDENCE THAN A RETAIL SPACE.. FORTUNATELY, THIS BUILDING STILL EXISTED AS A HOUSE, SO IT WAS MORE A CASE OF PEELING BACK LAYERS OF TRADITIONAL RETAIL FIXTURES TO REVEAL ITS BEAUTY.” PHILIP JOSEPH, P. JOSEPH STUDIO 2020

JACQUEMUS FLAGSHIP STORE

STRAND ARCADE

THE BRIONI SHOWROOM SITS WITHIN A CLASSIC, FOUR STOREY, GEORGIAN STYLE BUILDING WHICH WAS BUILT IN 1736 IN MAYFAIR, LONDON. WITH THE ORIGINAL FACADE INTACT, THE INTERIORS ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF AN 18TH CENTURY RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOUSE WITH ORNATE DETAILING, MOULDED FIREPLACES, HIGH CEILINGS AND BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED INTERCONNECTING STAIRCASE. P. JOSEPH APPROACHED THE DESIGN OF THE SHOWROOM BY CREATING A NARRATIVE AND CONCEPT AROUND AN IMAGINARY ROMAN COLLECTOR MOVING INTO HIS LONDON HOME. ESSENTIALLY CREATING A PERSONA FOR THE ITALIAN BRAND BRIONI AND BRINGING THIS TO LIFE THROUGH THE INTERIORS OF EACH LEVEL. EVIDENT IN THE DECOR OF MID-CENTURY ITALIAN FURNITURE AND ROMAN MATERIALS SUCH AS TRAVERTINE AND AREBESCATO MARBLE. HOWEVER, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE IMPORTANCE OF PLACE BY CREATING A CLASSIC LONDON TOWNHOUSE WITH AN ITALIAN SOUL. P. JOSEPH COLLABORATED WITH DESIGN HISTORIAN DR. CATHARAINE ROSSI TO CREATE A FRAMEWORK FOR SUCCESSFUL RESTORATION OF THE TOWNHOUSE AND ALSO SOURCE A COLLECTION OF HISTORIC POST-WAR ITALIAN DESIGNER FURNITURE PIECES. A KEY FEATURE AND SUCCESS TO THE DESIGN IS THE LEVEL OF ALMOST PLAYING DOWN TRADITIONAL RETAIL FIXTURES AND DISPLAY SHELVING IN PLACE OF MORE SOPHISTICATED DISPLAY PIECES AND SCULPTURAL ELEMENTS. THIS CREATES AN APPRECIATION FOR THE EXISTING HISTORIC BUILDING FORMS AND RESIDENTIAL AMBIENCE. THE ITALIAN FURNITURE, LIGHTING AND TEXTILE COLLECTIONS ON DISPLAY SIT COMFORTABLY WITHIN THE ENGLISH ARCHITECTURAL FRAME AS SOFT WALL COLOURS REFERENCE THE PALETTE OF ROME. THERE IS A LAYER OF CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT TIES BOTH CULTURES TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY. FEATURING FURNITURE AND LIGHTING PIECES FROM DESIGNERS SUCH AS CARLO SCARPA, PIER GIACOMO CASTIGLIONI, LUIGI CACCIA DOMINIONI AND ANGELO MANGIAROT.

JACQUEMUS FLAGSHIP STORE

STRAND ARCADE

CARLO SCARPA DESIGNED THE OLIVETTI SHOWROOM IN 1957 AND IT IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF VENICE OVERLOOKING PIAZZA SAN MARCO. THE SHOWROOM IS ESSENTIALLY A DESIGNERS PILGRIMAGE AS IT IS CONSIDERED A SCARPA MASTERPIECE AND HAS BEEN ADORED AND FAVOURABLY DOCUMENTED WITHIN THE DESIGN WORLD. THE SHOWROOM CLOSED IN 1997 AND WAS REOPENED BY THE ITALIAN ENVIRONMENTAL FOUNDATION (IEF) IN 2011. THE IEF ENGAGED THE SCARPA FOUNDATION TO PRESERVE THE PERFECTLY FORMED CONCRETE AND SUBTLE YET PRECISE DETAIL OF IT’S PREVIOUS GLORY. THE ENTIRE SHOWROOM IS TACTILE IN THE APPROACH TO MATERIALITY OF CONCRETE, BRASS, HANDMADE WOODEN SCREENS, LIMESTONE, PLASTER, MARBLE AND GLASS. THE OFFSET AND BESPOKE CENTRAL CONCRETE STAIRCASE HAS BEEN STUDIED BY MANY AND IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF CARLO SCARPA’S ACUTE ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND CRAFT. ANOTHER PROMINENT FEATURE OF THE OLIVETTI SHOWROOM IS A LARGE SCULPTURE, “NUDO AL SOLE”BY ALBERTO VIANI, NEAR THE FRONT ENTRANCE. THE SCULPTURE SITS ON A SLAB OF BLACK MARBLE WITH WATER RUNNING OVER THE STONE. THE FLOOR TILES FEATURE A HAND CUT MARBLE MOSAIC AND ARE NOW SOLD THROUGH OLIVETTI AND OTHER DISTRIBUTORS. THE MOSAIC TILES COME IN VARIOUS MARBLE, TRAVERTINE AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. ALSO VARYING IN GROUT DISTANCES TO CREATE DIFFERENT LOOKS; EITHER NARROW OR WIDER GROUTS DEPENDING ON THE DESIRED OUTCOME.
