Dan Murphy’s Icon Room
Premium end-to-end service for Dan Murphy’s Cellar.
Focus Doors was engaged by the Endeavour Group to design and create a bespoke wine room within a new Dan Murphy’s cellar retail outlet in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.
Named the Icon Room, the primary goal was to provide a premium customer experience for high-end boutique liquor connoisseurs. Focus Doors worked closely with various stakeholders including architects, refrigeration contractors, project managers, electrical and locking contractors, lighting designers, and the client, from the early concept stages to the final construction and installation.
Early Concept Stages and Collaboration
At the onset of the project, the team at the Endeavour Group consulted with Focus Doors to discuss and overcome the challenges faced with the original trial store.
Collaboration commenced with key parties, including the architects i2C, EDG representatives, Contract Refrigeration, Lighting Designers JHA Engineers, MPA Builders and Artro Management project managers, to ensure a comprehensive and robust design process. During the early design stages, CAD drawings, 3D printed mock-ups, and factory visits were used to visualize and refine the proposed concept.
Teamwork and Communication
To ensure a successful outcome, Focus Doors pulled together a high-performing, experienced team to tackle the multi-phase challenges presented by the project.
This included Project Direction, Customer Liaison, Design and Onsite Project Management and an Onsite Installation Team to ensure all team members were kept up-to-date with information in real-time, as change occurred.
Combining ‘The Focus Way’ optimisation process with the outstanding rapport the Focus Doors team built with the external project team, Focus Doors could manufacture the elements required for construction, deliver and install them at precisely the right time for the client regardless of the evolving construction timeframe.
