Purposefulness and simplicity
The new design was driven by the desire to facilitate the department’s transition to a hybrid work style, transforming the workspace into a flexible and adaptable setting. Each employee has the freedom to choose their work environment, and it offers a comprehensive list of facilities made to support the individuals daily needs.

“From the beginning, the design has been a highly integrated processes with involvement from the entire project team. Our practice has a strong understanding of the government sector, and our highly consultative approach means we were able to hone a clear design framework for creating a tailored environment for the Department’s people and also for the community they serve.”
