Warm Integrity – 255 George Street by Richards Stanisich
Engaged to create a dynamic workplace of infinite possibilities on behalf of AMP Capital, Richards Stanisich has developed a series of ‘third spaces’ to complement existing on-floor tenancies throughout the building. The result is an environment that makes working from home by far the less tempting option.
Upon entering, you are first greeted by one of the finest lobbies across the CBD. Mixed-use working environments activate areas of the lobby that were previously wasted, tapping into the central CBD location and allowing the existing structural framework to champion local creatives. This transformation speaks to 255 George’s architectural pedigree, with original materials repurposed where possible and even remaining untouched – demonstrative of the original integrity with which the building was first approached.
Other areas of focus include larger spaces for collaborative meetings, an 18-seat boardroom, open workstations and breakout zones – hallmarks of contemporary workplaces. Throughout, clever uses of stone, granite, marble and timber materials combine with a tightly curated selection of furniture, textiles and rugs from Australia and New Zealand’s finest designers to craft an inviting and familiar space with a natural warmth rarely enjoyed by city offices.
With aplomb, Richards Stanisich navigates the changing needs of workplaces. Inclusive, functional, flexible and elegant, 255 George exemplifies contemporary expectations of office environments.
