By Nimbus Architecture & Heritage
The project involved refurbishment to the lower nine floors of a high rise building in Sydney. These floors originally functioned as serviced apartments and through the works, were converted into boutique office suites and associated facilities including a lobby, cafe, meeting rooms, breakout spaces and end of trip amenities. As the upper floors of the building are residential apartments, the project was undertaken under Class 2 provisions as described in the Design Practitioners Act. Nimbus were engaged as registered Design Practitioners to review the interior design and consultant documentation and provide supplementary documentation to ensure adherence to statutory requirements. This presented various challenges both through the nature of the project - changing the function of the spaces and updating the building to current compliance standards, and also navigating the new processes and requirements as dictated by the Act.
Nimbus Architecture and Heritage started up in 2015. The practice employs a total of 9 people from their Australian Office in Parramatta NSW.
The practice has projects in the commercial, community, educational, ecclesial, and domestic sectors in regional and urban centres in Australia with emphasis on New South Wales.
Our clients are state government agencies, local government, universities, private education providers, community groups as well as individuals. The studio works closely with our clients, stakeholders and sub-consultants and through this exercise we are able to creatively collaborate to ensure that potential development is realised in a project that responds to place, the design brief and unlocks implicit potential.
