Studio Goss uses concrete and plaster for Armadillo & Co showroom in Sydney.
Studio Goss was brought on board to overhaul the interiors of the showroom building. Its previous occupants had left behind a "distracting" fit-out that featured metallic and reflective surfaces. Throughout the space, customers witness a range of strong textural forms. Poured concrete, glazed terracotta tiles, FSC-certified oak timber and solid brass fixtures characterise the architecture.
"When we first saw the space it was dramatic but a bit disjointed and visually messy, so our initial focus was on paring things back to bring a sense of clarity to the internal volumes. We were really intent on introducing some quieter surfaces to harness and better highlight this magical, ephemeral quality."
