The Work project draws on the established design language of the iconic Denton Corker Marshal building, Asia Square, an exploration of the grid – both through observation of the rigid implementation as well as a playful deviation from it. Our reference point for this project was the broad and varied design language of the post-modern. A celebration of unusual materiality and reinterpretation of classic elements. From grey granite and glass typical building lobby there are timber-lined boxes relating to entry points. Secondary entries are created as timber cubes and mirrored ceilings that are accented by the formal entry. The formal entry is created as a larger timber box and lined with a living green internal box-surrounded by neutral series of gallery corridors. Within the lounge, a tile grid pattern and an open cell ceiling establish two planes, which emphasise the skewed, curved, lacquered red box, housing meeting spaces in blush tones. Another green wall commands attention balanced by the iconic furniture items throughout the space. The work space is ruled by linearity, responding to the form of the building and ensuring efficient but comfortable allocation of space. Aluminium panels carries through here, expressed through exaggerated glazing sections, matched with robust joinery in primary tones – office standards reinterpreted with creative detailing. Natural cork flooring for circulation adds a sense of warmth that carries through the whole floor plate.
