Fit-out
Internally, the integrated fit-out and circulation paths draw upon the radial nature of the façade and allow the conceptual ideas to be realised both inside and out. The radial idea is further enhanced through the integration of a sculptural interlinking stair.
Maintaining the original concept of concrete spiral stairs created structural problems. The decision was made to fabricate the spiral stairs out of 16mm structural steel plate. These were the fabricated off-site and craned in through the roof. The Feature Stairs weight in at approx. 12 tonne and allow the occupant to move through the work place without using the lifts.
The fit-out has resulted in integrated workplaces, flowing through to replicate the movements of the workforce.
The integrated fit-out saw the project delivered with minimal extension to the original program, thus allowing the tenant to occupy the building from an early stage, without the need for a separate fit out period.
