Wangaratta Offices, Richmond

Description

The design of the Wangaratta Offices speaks to architecture’s responsibility for the development of a more sustainable built environment. Incorporating a complexity of intents manifested through robust yet refined aesthetic values and pragmatics, the development fosters holistic workplace practises.

Located in Melbourne’s diverse and dense inner-urban Richmond, the boutique commercial office space is a striking brutalist inspired addition to its industrial neighbourhood. Negotiating workplace wellness alongside activation of the public realm, and deeply considered tenant flexibility, the six-storey building achieves a future-proofed relevance allowing it to evolve alongside tenants from myriad industries and scales.

Through innovative schematics that navigate indoor and outdoor space, the beautiful orchestration of natural light and shade, and an intelligent balance between productivity inducing design and social amenity, Wangaratta Offices stand as testament to abiding workplaces designed to respond to and bolster the needs of inhabitants and community alike.
