Following workshops with the Gold Coast Arup team, we developed a design concept for the 300sqm space which represents Arup’s national brand whilst responding to the local team’s aspirations for a Gold Coast contextual workplace which would encourage community and corporate engagement.

The front of house space is designed to be an open, multifunctional space with a flexible meeting room space and amphitheatre seating to support informal meetings, collaboration and also to host larger events. Digital technology is seamlessly integrated into the design of the space to intuitively support the varied functionality.

The breakout space sits to the perimeter of the tenancy to maximise natural light and connects the event and work areas. The open plan workspace is an agile working environment, with a variety of work settings on offer.

The design language and materiality of the workplace was inspired by the colours and forms from the surrounding natural landscapes, and the selection of all finishes, furnishings and fixtures were prioritised for their sustainability certification.
