Inside the Sonder Drummoyne Build

Every Sonder location tells a story through its materials. Drummoyne's story is one of industrial heritage meets considered craft.

The building itself is a converted warehouse — exposed brick, steel trusses, and concrete floors that have seen a century of use. We did not fight that history; we leaned into it.

Our design team sourced reclaimed timber from a demolished woolshed in rural NSW. That timber now forms the barber stations — each one unique, each one carrying decades of patina that cannot be replicated.

The mirrors are custom — blackened steel frames that echo the building's industrial bones. The chairs are Italian leather on cast iron bases. The lighting is warm but precise — we need to see every hair, but the space should never feel clinical.

Twelve months from lease signing to first cut. Every detail considered, every material earned.
