85 O’Riordan

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Building on an already trusted partnership, we worked hand in hand with Goodman to transform a full floor warm shell at 85 O’Riordan Street into two distinctive plug & play spec suites.

Nestled in the heart of Alexandria, our design approach was to maximise functionality and provide an efficient workplace flow all while creating a refined-industrial style with an ‘Australiana’ twist, perfectly suited to the South Sydney tenant market. 

Drawing in the leafy exterior of Sydney Corporate Park, our design drive was to transform an industrial cold shell into a complimentary & engaging work environment through the use of greenery, tactile materiality and pops of coloured accents. The space offers pockets of escapism within an urban setting. 

KEY SOLUTIONS
Our approach focused on creating a space that is both visually striking and practical, fostering an inviting atmosphere for prospective tenants and visitors alike. Key upgrades included:

• An impactful arrival off the common lobby uses rich timbers, custom joinery & feature lighting to create a striking first impression
• The breakout area reuses an existing tea point and builds a beautiful breakout around it which features custom timber screening, designer furniture & planting, adding a touch of residential warmth. The breakout is an extension of a balcony, a desired external space that is valued by any end user 
• A selection of various sized meeting rooms, focus rooms and a dedicated training room all work together to provide the right kind of functionality for the intended end user. The built form as well as open collaboration & quiet zones are all strategically positioned to ensure privacy while maintaining a fluid, functional layout.

RESULTS
The result is a fresh, modern workspace that is both warm and inspiring. This redesign not only maximised the building’s potential but also enhanced its appeal to prospective tenants.

With Suite 1.01 successfully completed, the design approach is now being mirrored in Suite 1.02, the larger of the two spaces, which is set for delivery coming soon. Stay tuned!
