Winner

AWA showroom
of the year
Large showroom
Southern Star Group
Canterbury Showroom
Clayton South, VIC

The Heatherton Road showroom is a welcoming and
informative touch point for potential customers and
clients. From a stylish interpretive panel displaying
the 65 year history of the business, to another giving
helpful pointers on how to select the best windows and
doors for their project, the customer immediately feels
confident that they are in experienced hands.
Clever product layouts lead the customer through in
situ displays depicting real life living spaces that all
serve to inspire and inform: an airy al fresco through
a screened stacking sliding door; a stylish lounge area
bordered by a bifold door and louvres; a welcoming
kitchen with screened servery window and corner
stacker.
The interactive environment effectively demonstrates
functionally, aesthetics and versatility of the full suite
of products on offer and the selection centre and
information kiosk provides technical information and
demonstrates performance attributes.

JUDGES’ COMMENTS
“The different functional areas gave each setting a
room-like, inviting interior.”
“The customer is provided with a lot of information on
signs beside the products.”
“Pops of colour provide interest in this large space.”
