By Anouk & Co
Anouk & Co was engaged to design HMIA's new head office at 1 Castlereagh Street, Sydney.
HMIA, providing heavy motor insurance wanted to create a workplace that fostered innovation and connection. The kitchen and breakout space was designed to encourage collaboration and be utilised as a dynamic space.
The colour palette and materials used encompass and reflect HMIA’s branding and the space has a mature sensibility whilst retaining playfulness. This playfulness was further expressed with pops of teals and blues throughout and as a nod to HMIA’s customers a custom designed panel.
Wood and polished concrete were selected for integrity and sustainability, reducing embedded carbon whilst balancing strength with warmth.
Anouk & Co is an award-winning boutique design studio, specialising in workspace, hospitality, retail, and residential interiors.
Anouk, a gentle play on the word nook, is the personification of the belief that all spaces, regardless of size and form, can be transformed into the ideal space that represents and reflects the idea and values of its owner.
We believe that considered design has the power to create greater connectivity, experience and inspire. We challenge beliefs and create spaces for people to thrive.
