The brief of this project was to convert a heritage building into an office for a young design based company. The flexible nature of the client’s work style called for spaces of different scales to accommodate activities ranging from meetings to recreation.

The insertion of two acoustically treated, steel-framed pods divides the 750m² office plate into programmatic zones, allowing the industrial space to retain its openness while providing the spatial & acoustic separation necessary. Borrowing from the industrial character this fit-out is a manifestation of Breathe’s ideology of simplicity and functionality.

Australia’s most awarded sustainable design firm, and its most dependable.

Our Approach

Breathe undertakes meaningful projects we can be proud of — those that align with our purpose and values.

Since we focus on maximising positive impact, many of our projects don’t fit the common definition of ‘architecture’.

We work to understand who we’re designing for. We strive to inspire, engage and support our clients and the broader communities we serve.

We prioritise social, environmental and economic sustainability in every project. We question the status quo to pursue outcomes that are informed by, and seek to better, those that came before.

Above all, we prioritise ethics along with aesthetics, and design without ego, to create the best outcomes for our clients and their communities.
