A series of voids allow vistas to stretch across the 8,000sqm footprint. Two main atriums serve as centrepieces, dedicated to collaboration and socialising. Intimate booths and lounges along the edge of the atriums create buffer zones with 12 ‘engine room’ work labs.

Steel framed boxes on the mezzanine level house meeting rooms. Concrete joinery identifies the reception and barista bar, while warm timber welcomes staff to the town hall bleachers and private booths.

Tying the space together is a series of custom designed rugs, coloured to match the heritage machinery that punctuate the workplace. Materiality aligns with the scale of the space, marrying tactility and rationality.
