CLIENT OBJECTIVES
Goodman engaged PMG to refurbish, design and build the existing gym and end of trip facilities in the Talavera Corporate Centre, Macquarie Park, Sydney.

• EOT Amenity: The existing end-of-trip facilities required a refresh. The partitioning in the male and female bathrooms took up excessive space. The client wanted to eliminate the gender-specific partitions and create individual shower rooms instead.
• Bathroom Layout: The client required a design that maintained the existing accessible toilet setout while also adding a new ambulant toilet for compliance.
• Gym Area: The gym’s aesthetics were uninspired with a predominantly monochromatic scheme, and an exposed, painted black ceiling. The client sought to introduce warmth and colour to make the gym a more inviting and inspiring space.
• Custom Design Requests: The client also requested specific fixtures in gunmetal grey and a preference for a part-height tile detail in the bathrooms, which they hoped to replicate in future projects.

DESIGN SOLUTIONS
PMG implemented a range of design solutions including: 

• Multiple floor plan iterations overcame compliance challenges, resulting in four individual, gender-neutral toilet and shower rooms.
• Maintained existing accessible toilet setout and added an ambulant toilet for compliance.
• Bathrooms feature a part-height tile detail, set to be replicated in future projects.
• Sourced gunmetal grey fixtures 
• Retained the black exposed ceiling in the gym, using forest green as a base colour for walls, with lighter shades for cohesion.
• Added a timber-look vinyl flooring and soft grey sheer curtains to create warmth and inspire.

OUTCOME

• The renovation successfully met the client’s objectives, resulting in refreshed and functional EOT facilities and a gym area that is now warm and inspiring. The design solutions not only addressed the existing issues but also introduced elements that the client intends to replicate in future projects.
