MV Sorrento Ferry

The fit-out of the iconic MV Sorrento Ferry was the careful consideration of commercial requirements and stringent building regulations alongside playful storytelling. We entirely reimagined the space planning of the cafe, bar and retail areas, streamlining staff and customer movements and creating clear divides between the service and relaxation areas of the vessel. Unashamedly referencing the ‘glory days of seafaring through bold sailor stripes and sea rope detailing’, as described by Monocle Magazine, we specified marine-grade materials alongside softer detailing such as seat pads that reference ship port holes. Tied together with a bright and engaging integrated signage and wayfinding system, people’s imaginations were captured, connecting them to the marine environment and the movement of their ocean journey.

About the
Professional

For over five decades, Nexus Designs has created enduring and personal design, expressing authenticity and bringing delight. Multi-disciplinary to the core, we offer a true integrated service of interior design, product development, colour and trend analysis, graphic design and communication, working within the residential, commercial, government, education and building product manufacturing sectors.

Embodying the unstoppable search for timeless and functional design championed by our founder Janne Faulkner AM, our studio is bright, adaptable and spirited, interesting as much as we are interested, and endlessly inspired by the colour and form found within the unique Australian natural and built environments.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
