THE PROJECT
Jellinbah Group, an established Australian mining company, engaged PMG to design and build a new office space in Brisbane.
The project objectives included:
- Jellinbah wanted to modernise their workspace while ensuring the design reflected the company’s core values.
- After two decades in the same location, the emphasis was on transitioning to a new office to revitalise Jellinbah’s workplace culture, aligning it with a purposeful space.
- Departing from a conventional office arrangement, the objective was to promote collaboration between senior professionals and junior staff by transitioning away from individual offices, fostering increased interaction.
DESIGN INSPIRATION:
The design inspiration combines industrial inspiration in polished concrete, metal, and stone, complemented by earthy tones and natural timber, tying back to the vast Australian landscape to create a warm and inviting ambiance.
DESIGN SOLUTIONS
- Neighbourhoods/Zones:
Recognising the diversity of preferences among workers, PMG strategically designed distinct neighbourhoods within the office and incorporated quiet rooms, providing dedicated spaces for focused work or moments of respite. This dual approach ensures that the office caters to the needs and preferences of all team members. This design strategy also brings teams into closer proximity with each other, fostering collaboration while maintaining the flexibility to accommodate future growth. - Meeting Room Design: Front of house meeting areas feature high-spec acoustic solutions, ensuring a sophisticated yet functional space. Two large boardrooms were designed with an operable acoustic wall, adorned with an indigenous pattern, allowing for the expansion of space for larger town hall meetings. A galley-style kitchen behind the boardroom allows for effortless catering.
- Informal Lounge Meeting Room: A stunning informal theme lounge meeting room, complete with integrated lit cabinetry and leather chairs for comfort, provides an alternative relaxed space and highlights the stunning views of the Brisbane River.
“I would highly recommend PMG, and have, to anyone looking to do an office fit-out. The guidance and knowledge provided throughout the project were second-to-none. I have also been impressed with the post-project assistance—everything PMG promised, they delivered, and more. Thank you, PMG; we loved your ideas and energy; our new workspace is incredible.”

- Wellness Room: A dedicated wellness room, equipped with a sink and fridge, features comfortable lounge chairs, offering employees a space for relaxation and rejuvenation.
- Expanded Kitchen and Breakout Area: The kitchen and breakout area were designed to be generous in size to create a more communal space. A custom coffee machine and access to a family room with bean bags, a TV, and a feature wall mural add comfort and functionality.
- End of Trip Facilities: To support employee well-being, end-of-trip facilities were incorporated within the floor, including showers, lockers, and airing cupboards.
RESULTS:
Jellinbah’s office at 66 Eagle Street, Brisbane, successfully achieves the client’s objective of subtly changing the company’s culture while staying true to its values.
The implementation of neighbourhoods, enhanced meeting spaces, and thoughtful design elements creates a warm, collaborative, and modern work environment that reflects Jellinbah Group’s commitment to progress and employee wellbeing.
