Our brief was to relocate the client from their existing offices in the heart of the city to a new premise on L15 of the PWC Tower. We sought to recognize their distinct fondness of their current fitout, while enhancing elements that the new building had to offer such as the spectacular view and dynamic floor plate. The client wished to retain individual offices for all senior staff, as well as the majority of their existing furniture.
We have worked with, but reinterpreted the design elements and materials that they so admired in their previous tenancy, such as timber, leather and stone. Synthesis of these objectives drive a focus on quality, natural materials, class and strength within design.
