ABOUT
STUDIO
Sustainable, collaborative, budget-conscious, experienced, award-winning, yadda yadda yadda… Simply put — we just really enjoy what we do and treat each project like it is our first.
Diving into the challenges and opportunities that each site presents. Evolving from the creative partnership of Hanna Richardson and Katherine Kemp in 2006.
ZWEI (German for “2”) are now a multidisciplinary team specialising in the delivery of hospitality and retail spaces. We believe in creating wonderful spaces that are both inspiring and functional. We believe that innovation can come about from challenges.
And that you do not need an extraordinary budget to achieve an extraordinary outcome, just an open mind and willingness to take the plunge.
We love to create great spaces that have an emotional connection and ability to communicate a narrative, and most importantly, are meaningful, sustainable places to be in
. We are passionate about delivering projects that are simple and considered yet innovative, playful and fun.
Thanks for listening, watching, reading & clicking. — Team ZWEI (Katherine, Simon, Anna, Dani, Brodie, Malourie, Rhonda & Victoria)
