Testimonials

We have finally found a partner that understands the brand and willing to work towards a common goal of creating design masterpieces that represent the brand. The team at X+O works tirelessly towards deadlines and at a fun capacity that breeds progression. The communication is clear throughout the design process right through to the invoicing stage. The overall process allows the customer ideas to come to life in an architectural capacity that translates into working drawings followed by physical manifestation.

Bryce Alton, CEO Nudie Jeans Co. Pty Ltd AUNZ

The Hairhouse team had the privilege of collaborating with Rebecca and the X+O team on the ideation and design of our next generation flagship store concept at Chadstone in Melbourne.

The X+O team brought a knowledge and insight of the ever-changing retail trends that enabled us to create a retail space beyond anything we had previously imagined.

We are so thankful for the passion and commitment they had for this significant project and could not have asked for better partners on this journey.

Michael O'Connell COO / Co-Owner Hairhouse

A long term consultant to Wests Ashfield Leagues Club, X+O has successfully delivered multiple projects across the club including design, coordination, collaboration, FFE and project management of area including; The Garden F+B precinct (a collaboration), Design and Project Management of the new Sports Lounge, Reception, Function Room, multiple Cafes, Gaming and Bathrooms. X+O managed the consultants, and budgets- which involved multiple millions of dollars across the entire portfolio of works. The various areas appeal to different members and guests and the nuances of each of these individuals was met in each space. I recommend X+O to any organisation that is looking for both breadth and depth of capability for design, execution and project management. X+O has the experience, and skills to cultivate and maintain long-lasting relationships with their partners and clients.
