Event Details
Inspired by the rich history of Surry Hills and the warm, cinematic colour palette of the Australian landscape, the design of Ace Hotel Sydney acts as a call and response with the city’s past. Flack Studio embraced organic materials to create spaces honest to this history — from the acoustic textural straw walls of the hotel’s guest rooms to the striking ochre red off-form concrete staircase in its lobby.
David Flack is an Australian designer renowned for multi-faceted, experiential residential, hospitality, commercial and retail environments. He will discuss how the curation of art informed the spaces, and how the artists, largely from diverse backgrounds, ultimately inform the story of a multicultural Australia.
