Blending industrial heritage with modern sensibilities, Kokoda House is a result of collaboration between Kokoda Property and Carr. It presents a multi-functional space that not only showcases Kokoda’s property portfolio but provides an inviting environment reminiscent of home.

The design integrates adaptive reuse and innovative digital elements, creating a tactile and visually engaging experience. Drawing inspiration from Richmond’s industrial past, the interiors juxtapose raw and refined materials. Patinated brass, exposed brick, illuminated glass brick walls and blackened steel are paired with luxurious touches of marble and bronze. These elements not only pay homage to the building’s history but elevate its character, offering a sophisticated yet grounded ambiance.

Visitors are greeted by a light-filled entryway with steel-framed glass floors, which transitions into a contrasting dark immersion room. The centrepiece of this space is a seven-meter-high curved digital screen, unveiled by motorised velvet curtains. This striking feature encapsulates Carr’s commitment to memorable experiential design, leaving a lasting impression while aligning with Kokoda Property’s brand ethos.

Flexibility is central to Kokoda House’s design. In addition to serving as a sales and marketing hub, the space functions as an events venue, catering to a wide audience. By incorporating cutting-edge digital solutions, Kokoda House not only enhances its usability but also reflects a strong commitment to sustainability. Adaptive reuse of the existing structure and a focus on minimising waste underline the environmentally conscious approach.

It is a testament to the possibilities of thoughtful design, blending past and present to create a space that is as welcoming as it is innovative.
