The interior design solution provided by IN2 SPACE allowed the facility to be stylishly + successfully used to conduct courses as well as cater for the centre's every day needs + numerous events + functions.

The new vibrant colour scheme recommended by IN2 SPACE blends in harmoniously with the centre's current colourful interiors + the new fitout has been embraced by all users.

The new kitchen space was designed in order to be able to open up to the surrounding areas to cater for multiple types of functions + courses by way of collapsible bi-fold glass doors. New stainless steel appliances + fixtures were specified + fitted throughout the project, bringing the kitchen in line with commercial standards.

Clever detailing was required in order to house an above ground grease trap in the cavity of the kitchen cupboards + this successfully eliminated the need for expensive excavation to the existing floor slab.
