Reach for the Sky

The one that started it all and kept us on our toes all the way through, the first Australian Sky Zone tenancy was located in Alexandria, New South Wales, and it required some boundary-pushing elements to be developed to suit the industrial shell within which it would be housed. First was a suspended lighting system, affectionately called ‘hex-grid’, which would come to form an integral element used to defuse the view away from the typical industrial rooflines of the base building. Next was the old forest, used as a resting area and break-out space, made from industrial cardboard tubes. Finally, the addition of the ‘cloud’ ottomans to the forest gave customers a further feeling of flying or floating in the air and helped to tie the space to the brand positioning of ‘go jump’. The future spaces also featured multiple layers of translucent blue, orange, or white polycarbonate, all of which had integrated lighting to enhance the feeling of lightness throughout the venues.
