The project philosophy and methodology were interconnected and were based on constraint and richness. Indyk had a very limited budget to work within and a few elements that needed to be maintained in order to achieve an end result.
Their first intervention was to create a plywood open room-like tent, right at the entry point off the landing of the escalator at the Events cinema Bondi Junction.
Remnant timber plywood ceilings were kept where they existed over the existing bar and part banquette. To these sections was added a whole new bent plywood language of curved ceiling elements that came to ground as columns around the existing columns.
A sculptural energy was overlaid onto what was a static pre-existing design.
