THE PRINT HOUSE

Red Design Group worked hard to develop this concept to have the grandeur of a european club lounge, sectioned into areas that will appeal to a range of customers, their moods, and requirements.

Once again RED Design Group teamed up with Paul Mathis to create The Print House hospitality concept. This site is located on the cusp of Melbourne's inner central business district. The building holds much historical value, it is Heritage listed as well as home to the worlds unique and historical hydraulic lift. Upstairs at A’Beckett Street will be The Print House. The name was secured due to the history of the building dating back to over 100 years as Abasis Printing.

This was a very personal project for Paul Mathis, where selections of his own found objects were incorporated into the concept design. In keeping with the former life of the building we referenced various classic works of literature, Somerset Maun’s, suddenly last summer, Daphne Du Maurier ‘The Birds’.

An eclectic range of furniture and monuments, with mosaic tiles and motif carpet were selected and helped define the look and feel Paul Mathis was trying to achieve.

The space was designed to be quite versatile so it can be transformed into a private dining room to cater for functions, wine appreciation seminars and general corporate functions. The design was to house guests that would prefer to eat and drink in more opulent surroundings, with a large marble bar and a beautiful range of branding and merchandise to follow.
