The brief on this project was to create an amazing personal office for one of Australia’s best-known arts benefactors and philanthropists. The builders have succeeded in this task and during the process have overcome many technical challenges, including replacing the rotten bottoms of many aged timber columns and re-leveling the whole first floor.  The internal office finishing could be described as ‘modern industrial’ and features a burnished concrete ground floor and a recycled French oak first floor. There is a ‘bespoke’ steel staircase and a full-length glazed atrium that fills the whole office space with light. At the rear of the building, internal columns have been removed by the use of clever ‘reverse trusses’ and this creates a very functional carpark area.
A well-executed project for a demanding client
