The Cairns office of BP Australia was required to relocate from the old fuel depot for safety and quality of workplace imperatives. A complete strip out of the new tenancy gave the opportunity for a ‘clean slate’ to the design.
A graphic design scheme developed from BP’s corporate colours became the foundation for the overall interior scheme. The new work environment is refreshingly cheerful – a contrast to their former offices. Full height curved ‘screens’, made of black powdercoated decorative fins & patterned translucent infills, were employed to landscape the space.
The black framing creates a bold feature as a contrast to the white, green and yellow palette of the interior. Specification of workstations, custom joinery detailing and project management were all within our scope.
