planar oak veneer with incised acoustic slots . The spill out spaces are enlivened by pockets of different types of seating , from counter seating to casual and more formal softer low seating . The range of options invites and suggests different types of sitting and interacting and meeting .
Adjoining the reception on the south side of the building , three levels of ‘ client facing ’ meeting rooms are accessed by escalators . The meeting rooms are of vastly different sizes and configurations , some fitted out with full audiovisual and teleconferencing installations . The ‘ look and feel ’ continues the established palette of washed oak for the veneered full height doors , with oak wall panelling in accent areas . Artworks are judiciously placed and form the visual highlights in an otherwise very formal and restrained environment .
The canteen on the northern side of the building , to one side of the main reception , leads out onto a landscaped deck . It is designed in
direct response to the sweeping views to the north . The space itself is a triple volume , filled with abundant natural daylight , and made memorable by the stark graphic presence of the glass incisions in the east and west façades at either end . Furniture inside and outside the canteen is the same , leading to a strong sensation of spatial continuity and ease of use .
Full height washed oak panelling mediates the scale of the space and the quality of the light . Colour is introduced through chandeliers designed by Paragon Interface that are Art Deco in form but modern in material application , making use of orange and red Perspex in a dramatic contrast to the otherwise muted colour palette . The work areas consist of a majority of cellular office spaces located on external façade , with support and administrative teams located towards the inside edges . Opaque glass panels are placed in the walls of the cellular offices to bring daylight through the offices and into the support spaces .
