As part of the revitalisation of Chatswood Chase’s fresh food precinct, Astakos Chatswood Chase represents the evolution of the brand’s original flagship concept established at Marrickville. The brief was to adapt and elevate the existing brand vocabulary to suit a more premium retail context, while retaining legibility and continuity.

Material selections build on the established language, introducing Western Red Cedar and grey cobblestone finishes that respond to the centre’s guidelines and reference the client’s long-standing relationship with fresh seafood. Bronze inlays and refined merchandising platforms introduce a more tactile and layered customer experience.

The layout maximises shopfront exposure and reinforces transparency. Carefully placed openings and internal windows introduce moments of theatre, offering glimpses into preparation areas while improving operational visibility. The interior balances heritage cues with a contemporary sensibility, reinforcing Astakos’ brand presence within an elevated retail environment.
