For SABA’s Collins Street address, an essence of luxe had to be present. A palette combining warm hard plaster walls, painted exposed brick and timber paneling, an overall sense of enclosure was intended. The space is then demarcated with contrasting thin black lines, steel and glass partitions created purposed zones throughout. A signature Hecker Guthrie style, partitions of varying opacities are used for privacy and to create a feeling of connection without restricting visual access.

Together with rich wool carpets and granite and stone, there is an overall sense of contemporary luxury, making its presence amongst its neighbours on Collins Street felt, and welcomed.
