10 Martin Place.

The space aims to articulate the lifecycle of cotton, through a simplicity of design and material richness, and reflect Kowtow’s ‘off-grid’ philosophy. Situated over two floors of a mid-nineteenth-century commercial building on Gertrude St., the interior of Kowtow Naarm features a pared-back palette of thoughtful and ethically minded natural materials. Floor-to-ceiling joinery of Spotted Gum, wall coverings of coarse Limewash plaster, suspended panels of Kozo washi, reclaimed timber cabinetry, textiles of linen and wool, and a refinished floor of Victorian Ash imbue the space with an empathic lightness and sensitivity to place.
