Creative Director, Gary Chard, has three decades of experience creating exciting interior spaces. Our approach involves more than superficial decoration. While well-considered aesthetics remain at the heart of our work, we believe effortless functionality is just as important to an environment’s impact and enjoyment.
Projects are guided by a consistent methodology: thorough research, interaction, feedback, collaboration and strategic design delivering sustainable and engaging outcomes that are always innovative and timeless. Much of our work is event based, so we are experts in interpreting and translating brands into 3D experiences.
CHARD has worked closely with the Australian Open for 15 years, bringing their corporate hospitality spaces to life. We consider everything the guest sees, smells and hears, to create immersive, fully engaging spaces. The ten pop up corporate spaces at this years Australian Open ranged from exclusive VIP experiences to large restaurants accessible to the public.

GREEN ROOM
Australian Open 2020
The Green Room is an extremely high end, VIP backstage pass - guests are met at RLA concourse and escorted via underground 'player' corridors and Champions Walk to this luxurious room. The room design aimed to bounce the dark “BOH’ journey against a real WOW moment as soon as guests enter the space.
