The original site was an archetypal industrial workplace; defined by a large shed for manufacturing with limited connection to the adjacent office area. Despite the challenging constraints of fire regulations, the project sought to enhance the connection between the two by introducing a series of timber ‘pods’ located on the factory floor but also accessible from the office space.
Available to all, the two storey pods house a variety of shared amenities; meeting rooms, workshop, sample library, joinery design studio, and tool shed. Not only bringing teams together to share ideas and experiences, but the unexpected apertures overlooking the factory provide vignettes of the activity which showcase local fabrication with a playful energy and authentic company culture.
The backdrop to these shared spaces is site specific artwork Following the Pathways, by Dennis Golding. The piece speaks to the country where the building is located, allowing people who view the mural to make a connection to the land they are situated upon.
In a quest to communicate what’s possible in the creation of more sustainable fit outs, the arrangement of spaces encourages clients and collaborators to weave through the site, telling a story of clever reuse and reimagination as they go.
