Project Description
The building was built in 2011 and serves as offices. Its elliptical shape maximises harbour views. Nude by Nature, established in 2008 are one of Australia’s leading cosmetics and beauty companies. Their new office fit out will take up 1636 square metres of space, occupying an entire level in the building.
The client wanted a space that challenges traditional offices and is driven by encouraging collaboration amongst colleagues. . An open planned office space that also achieves a minimalist design was one of the leading requirements in the client brief.
​
The vision for the offices is a natural and high-quality design with materials that are predominantly Australian sourced. The key to this design is creating something that is natural and sustainable that aligns with the clients operating philosophy. Incorporating the curves of the building and windows was critical in achieving a successful design. The identity of the new offices is defined by the curved reception desk that features Australian stone and sustainable ash wood. The desk naturally flows and pairs with the greenery either side. This design is minimal, clean, and welcoming that encourages colleagues to work together.
