Residium is Open 7 Days a week, but not all of our showrooms are manned. This is a great chance to meet all the reps in one go!

How much is a ticket?

Tickets are free! Our design workshops, seminars and barista coffee is also free. Getting a ticket ahead of time reduces wait times when you arrive, but you can also turn up without one.

Do you have parking?

Residium has free parking on Level 3 of our building at 165 The Strand. You can park in any park on Level 3 during the weekends. There is great on-street parking in the surrounding streets, and a Wilson carpark at 70 The Strand. Also check out the Parkable app for other paid parking options. Accessible parks are available on the Ground Floor under the ramp.

Do you offer samples and brochures?

Many of our brands offer complimentary samples, or can help you order samples online. Designers are encouraged to pick up the latest folios and specifier resources directly from reps on the day.

Can I buy products on the day?

Our product experts can help you place orders or give you the right information to pass on to your fabricators on the day. Most of our products are made-to-order, but we can definitely help you seal the deal on Build + Design Day.

Walk ins are absolutely welcome, but anyone who pre-registers for a ticket will save time registering at the desk.
