Jury Citation
Jac + Jack’s gentle mix of luxe and grunge is reflected perfectly in the juxtaposition of its dirty base build and clean, seamless insertion. It’s an on-brand expression that couldn’t be more appropriate for the Australian fashion retailer’s fifth Australian store. The space, in Sydney’s Bondi, reminds customers they’re a stroll away from the beach and welcomes them with a warm wink.
This was a strongly debated category because of the diversity of projects, but Jac + Jack’s immaculate planning sequence stood out to the jury. Positioning of point-of-sale in relation to the fitting rooms and visual connection with the product on display seamlessly remedies the everyday challenges surrounding customer service. There’s deliberate calmness to the interior, successfully reinforced through the striking use of a datum.
Subtlety makes this fitout hard to ignore. Its finely considered detailing and selection of uncompromised materials is exquisite and the simplicity of the overall scheme is undeniably beautiful.
