Myrtle Street Offices
A generous central double height courtyard, where grand-scale artworks and exotic planting are displayed, supplies natural light and ventilation to the flexible work areas of the building.
A sheet steel stairway is installed to amplify the character of the interior’s original face brickwork and industrial-strength hardwood posts and beams. New glass brick walls are a strong visual reference to the area’s industrial past.
Upstairs, 1200m2 of naturally lit flexible workspace is paired with meeting and entertaining space on the ground floor.
