The interiors feature black steel, polished rendered walls and oak joinery with highlights of brass detailing. The palette is refined, hard wearing yet welcoming. Sheer curtains and upholstery help to soften the exposed concrete floor whilst the suspended timber ceiling offsets the black features and ties the office interior together.
Fabric Architecture was engaged early on during the search for a new tenancy. We provided spatial planning and test fits for potential tenancies to help the partner's gauge potential costs and expansion opportunities. Fabric acted as the head architect providing all construction documentation and FF&E schedules, tendering and builder selection, along with weekly site visits to ensure the project kept pace with the tight program.

Fabric Architecture is a contemporary design studio located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. We focus on Architecture and design - from buildings to public space, to small scale bespoke furniture design.
Fabric was founded on the belief that Architecture, no matter how large or small, is not a matter of style or trend but an ability to create social interaction and help shape an individuals experience in this world, both in the larger context right down to one’s tactile experience in their immediate surrounding environment. It is throughout this experience that perceptions are altered, building types are re-imagined and new ways of experiencing architecture realised.
We work inclusively with our clients: to work up an open brief, to imagine all possibilities, to open dialogue for collaborative problem solving and to discover methods for providing intentioned yet specific design solutions to real needs. We feel the most successful projects have both an openness and specificity, so that change may occur but the fundamental ideas remain intact. We seek to create buildings that make intuitive sense at every scale, from the holistic notions of site planning, down to the tangible experience of the touch of a material.
Our approach to Architecture in a constantly changing digital age is all inclusive; with social, practical, economical and environmental issues integrated within the design process. We consider Architecture to be a process of dialogue and we involve selected experts and consultants, across multiple disciplines, in every stage of the design process.
