A Workspace Radiating Urban Charm, VIC by Havwoods

A multi-office space emanating metropolitan elegance, 555 Collins Street is an extension of its iconic location in the Melbourne CBD. Studio 103 and Shape were engaged by Charter Hall to design and build, respectively, the lift lobby and multiple office spaces spanning across two expansive levels.

A key consideration in this project was for each office space to embody its own unique character, while still retaining a cohesive aesthetic throughout. This was achieved through the thematic use of timber in each design. From the battening adorning the ceilings, to the Havwoods flooring, the use of timber serves as a guiding element throughout the workspace environments.

Each Havwoods product was chosen based on technical and design requirements. It needed towithstand foot traffic, provide suitable access to power and data, and offer acoustic properties for noise reduction. The beautiful smokey grey tones of Havwoods' sustainably certified HW2212 Bandol Midi from the PurePlank collection were selected to feature throughout one of the three workspace designs. EP136 Edgwater and the beautiful blonde toned EP126 Wycombe, both from the Havwoods Urban Living collection, were selected to set the foundations of the remaining two office designs.
