Neue Black Workplace

by B.E Architecture

Neue Black Workplace by B.E Architecture is the new headquarters for an innovate mortgage broker in South Yarra that wanted to create a distinct identity appealing to all generations. While quite refined, the office is more like a studio with a comfortable, relaxed aesthetic.  Unique for a financial business, it has an open plan with the primary focus on two custom-made work stations designed as stand-alone furniture with steel up lights at the centre.

Where separation is necessary, steel-framed glass partitions form an executive office and casual conference rooms. The glazing is segmented with irregular banding of obscure glass, based more on a fabric design than a traditional steel window detailing, providing privacy and maintaining the open feel. The finishes and furnishings are an eclectic mix that is less about luxury and more about creating a memorable space. Grey rendered walls, dark timber joinery and plush silk carpeting create a richly textured backdrop.

The furniture, a varied collection of coloured velvet, leather, timber and blackened steel, feels as if it has been accumulated over time. Lighting is warm and dimmable with a preference towards unique accent lights to be more inviting. The choice of artwork further emphasizes the attention to detail that encourages customers to feel at ease. The Neue Black Workplace by B.E Architecture is a relaxed setting that relates to culture. This building creates an alternative to a prescriptive corporate model, it is a financial company for today.
