Our engagement commenced with an analysis of the company’s spatial requirements, leading to the development of schematic planning and a project budget. This informed the lease negotiations, defining the required footprint and scope of lessor’s works.
The 20 year old, 900sqm office fitout had aged poorly and was in desperate need of an upgrade. Pacifica have now undergone an extensive fitout program, resulting in a completely reorganised contemporary workplace. Throughout the overall fitout process, we worked closely alongside the company’s directors, enabling myriad to deliver a highly effective office space.
A primary factor in the design phase was the flooding of natural light across the central office areas.
All full height offices and meeting rooms are located centrally with glazed partitions, whilst mid-height staff workstations ensure everyone enjoys the 270 degree views.
The office overall colour palette of white, black and milkwood timber provides a striking and sophisticated ambiance to the space. Carrara marble, European timber pendants and classically styled furniture establish an image of professional quality for all on arrival at the practice.
Our role continued with the project coordination of dual fitout contracts for tenancy and lessor’s works, including the continued operation of the practice during construction. The Pacifica staff now enjoy an inspiring workplace that will support the company’s future growth.
