Goods Shed North Renovation – Melbourne, Australia

Stephen Searer — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:00:46 +0000

Goods Shed North was a renovation project for VicUrban led by BVN Architecture. The restored building was once a railway goods shed, but was converted into office space in 2010. Here is a little about the project

“Whilst the building’s historical exterior has been restored, the interior has been designed to be an innovative, contemporary, office space. Key historical elements of its interior have been retained whilst incorporating state-of-the-art technology. The design enables the organisations to foster a more innovative and collaborative work ethic through increased visibility and transparency and the creation of both active and passive project spaces within the building’s central zones.

By locating workspaces to the east and west side wings and retaining clear lines of sight through the building’s spine, multifunctional project spaces were created centrally within the base of the voids to ensure greater staff interaction and connectivity. Staff have been quick to engage with the work space, quiet rooms and public spaces, “a hallmark of the incredible success of the design team,” states Pru Sanderson, CEO of VicUrban.”

Bullseye’s Awesomely Bright Lobby

Stephen Searer — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 13:30:32 +0000

Bullseye is a digital marketing company located in Melbourne that recently underwent an office refresh. IN2, the fitout architects, worked with the company to create a wonderful entryway that provides a sort of blank canvas or tabula rasa for people entering the space. For those interested, tabula rasa is a term I never thought I would need in real life.

Enjoy!

Urban Trans Offices – Melbourne

Stephen Searer — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 13:30:45 +0000

Sometimes, all it takes to transform a bland, raw office space is a little bit of color, ingenuity and design sense. In the case of Urban Trans, Concept Office Interiors was able to do just that.

Urban Trans is a company that works to transform urban planning into a sustainable venture. Their office space in Melbourne shows at least some of that creativity that makes their business hum along.

Though the images below show a space that is without chairs, common furniture, or meeting furnishings, the space should still turn out wide open. Workstations are located along a single rail system, and great vintage images are features on the walls giving the space a connection to the past. The carpeting and the wall colors give the space just enough color to be interesting and fun, without ir being obnoxiously loud.

ANZ Center – Melbourne

Stephen Searer — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 13:00:34 +0000

If you thought you had a big office, you thought wrong. The ANZ Center in Melbourne, built by HASSELL for ANZ Bank of Australia, is truly massive. It is in fact the largest single–tenanted building in the the country.

Situated alongside the Yarra river, the building stands an impressive 13 levels, all configured to maximise natural daylight penetration, promote workplace integration and communication, and provide flexibility.

“Inspired by the riverside setting and the maritime character intrinsic to Docklands, the fluid forms and powerful internal spaces contribute to a commanding presence. The design evolved around the concept of an ‘urban campus’, focused on a central ‘common’, with a hierarchy of shared spaces, an openness fostering interaction, and a rich variety of settings providing scale and complexity.”

Lemonade Office

Jose Ramirez — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:00:59 +0000

Good day everyone! Or should I say, good day mate, since today we’re checking out Australian creative agency Lemonade. Lemonade does it all – web design, brand design, and graphic design – and they do it out of this really pretty office in St. Kilda Melbourne. Lemonade has worked with some pretty big brands over the years, such as Mercedes-Benz, Moet Hennessy, plus a whole load of Australian companies ignorant ol’ me has never heard of.

Their office is very impressive, full of light and open space. I like their mega-classy meeting room, with its fancy chairs, flat screen TV, and way-too-big vents. The best part, though? Having a lemonade stand as the reception desk. Cos it’s called Lemonade, get it? Get it? You get it.
