departments . The brief was to create clean lines , and a contemporary look and feel to reenergise the staff . As you enter the reception you are welcomed by the triple volume atrium . White marble and timber slats behind the reception complement elements from the architecture structure of the building . The use of timber allowed the designers to create a sense of an African tree . The architecture is complemented by the use of neutral tones which promote a feeling of tranquility .
The use of glass was also an important element , showing transparency as the company is moving in new directions . Corporate colours and graphics were also important and these have been incorporated by adding a pop of colour onto the furniture and commissioning unique art works . Texture has been incorporated through the choice of carpets and floor tiles . Giant Leap had to follow the 5 Star Green Star SA requirements when taking lighting , air quality , temperature , acoustic quality and ergonomics into account .
A proactive participation between the developers , consulting team , main contractor and Barloworld Automotive and Logistics , allowed this building to be a milestone-first in the Irene Link precinct and thus sets a high standard for the buildings to follow .
