Suncorp wanted to re-shape the retail experience around the customer with a focus on a ‘needs led’ rather than a  ‘product led’ environment. The Sydney Paramatta Store breaks down the parameters of traditional banking and creates a place where customers feel welcome and unintimidated about their financial needs.

Opportunity

The building faces Melbourne’s Bourke Street Mall and has previously failed
as a 2-level retail space. A new retail environment alone would not achieve
the level of difference required for success. The new store design must
challenge and change ways of thinking and doing. The interior design needed
to change staff assumptions and behaviours. It had to change the function and responsibility
of a ‘retail store’. The new fitout must offer ways of integrating digital,
physical and human touchpoints. A successful store refurbishment would create ‘signature’
experiences to educate and add value to customers visits, so they leave ‘better off’.
