The challenges presented by this existing building for refurbishment were:

• to create an inviting, up-market entrance
• to provide clear visitor direction - without a reception - at ground level
• to utilise peripheral office space without blocking natural light to the central core
• to design an office environment with elements of interest and delight

The interior design solution employed a diverse palette of techniques to meet these design challenges, including:

• directional floor materials
• surface gloss distinction
• destination cues
• lighting alignment
• glazed peripheral walls
• punctuated internal walls and aperturetextured glass-on-glass panels
• degrees of privacy and opacity

The resulting interior serves as a modern interpretation of the notion of the office environment – open yet closed, and bathed in natural light.
