Growthpoint End-of-Trip Facilities by Gray Puksand
With four beautifully appointed office buildings in its South Brisbane urban precinct, integrated property group Growthpoint wanted a redesign for its end-of-trip facilities that would align the space with the associated buildings and supply much-needed amenities for joggers, cyclists and other workers to prepare in comfort for the day ahead. “This meant expanding its offerings and enhancing the overall visual appeal and user experience,” says Melanie Johnson, interior designer at Gray Puksand.
A combination of EGGER’s light- and dark-toned wood decor products from ForestOne were selected to impart warmth and sophistication, bringing a contemporary aesthetic to the interior design. The EGGER wood decor range was an obvious choice for the main material “due to its exceptional attributes”, says Melanie. EGGER’s Vicenza Oak was used for benches, seating, lockers and bins, while the Compact Laminate in Anthracite Jura Slate was employed for the shower and toilet partitions.
Feature colours from EGGER’s vast range were also incorporated, including Black for the undermount basins, cupboards and storage spaces; Light Grey Chicago Concrete for the steamer area and long-line cupboard; and Cashmere Grey for storage areas and benches. The combined effect imbues the space with a highly contemporary aesthetic. “The products not only brought impressive detail to a sophisticated design but also showcased cool tones, playing a vital role in the overall design concept,” explains Melanie. “They seamlessly complemented the narrative of sustainability, harmonising perfectly with the introduction of the first-ever Bradley touchless wash bars in Brisbane.”
The products’ sustainable qualities were a primary consideration during the job specification, Melanie adds. “Gray Puksand was delighted to collaborate with a client who shared a passion for environmental consideration and consciousness, leading the design language towards quality, sustainability and sophistication.” Throughout the specification process, Gray Puksand leaned on ForestOne for its understanding of design and sustainability. “ForestOne consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to providing authentic knowledge and assistance, regardless of the project calibre or complexity.”

With an understanding that architects and designers need access to larger samples and in-situ project photography, ForestOne helped Gray Puksand to eliminate the guesswork while also allowing the practice “to focus on other critical design aspects,” says Melanie. With this additional support during the specification process, Gray Puksand was able to deliver a space where “simplicity was met with intrigue and was unified by quality materials and finishes”.
