BRISBANE FERRY TERMINALS
Derlot and collaborators, Cox Rayner Architects and Aurecon were awarded the Ferry Terminal Redevelopment project in 2012. The announcement followed an invitation by the Queensland Government in May 2011, requesting expressions of interest for the rebuilding of several Brisbane ferry terminals damaged during the 2011 floods.
The winning proposal lead to the completion of eight new terminals in 2015. Each terminal integrates technical innovation, flood resilience and creates landmark public spaces directly on the river, giving passengers a more direct experience of the river and its landscape. The design is adaptable for the different terminal locations, and incorporates a number of green design strategies. -

MORNING AFTER
In a true holistic approach to design, we worked closely with the client on the vision for Morning After Café, in Brisbane’s West End.
The intention was to create a mood of refined simplicity and warmth with a minimal colour and material palette of whites, oak and forest green, complimented by brushed brass detailing.
Our team, under the art direction of Alexander Lotersztain and Head of Interiors, Pamela Georgeson, undertook all aspects of the design including corporate identity, web, interior design, lighting design, custom furniture, joinery and accessories. The designers also collaborated with Jam Factory in the development of custom MA dinnerware. -
