Local Post Office
adaptable and responsive design concept
The new Collingwood 3066 LPO is a modern approach to the local post office environment.
Reinvigorating the Australia Post narrative within the historical suburb. Minimal intervention with the existing structure allows for less material use and the celebration of an open plan space allows for great natural light and airflow. The uplifting of local businesses through the cyclical market space subsidises impacts of global markets and their impacts made during postal service, replacing them with local retail opportunities.
I executed this brief using an array of methods and mediums. Using physical and digital drawing solutions, I was able to give my visualistions an approachable tone, while remaining clear and understandable in a spatial sense. Using this method of visualisation reflected the spaces energy and activated the concept.
The space takes a considered approach with delegation of specific zones within the LPO (local post office). Relieving anecdotal customer frustrations with current post office interactions. I have divided spaces based on typical customer interactions and uses of a LPO.
Adapting existing Australia Post brand imagery, I payed homage to the highly intergral company to Australia’s history. Celebrating elements of local imagery as well as presenting conventional yet iconic symbols of the brand.
