Edge Workplace

This 700m2 fitout for Edge Agency and Creative Oasis houses 80 people in a ‰flexible and informal workplace. The space overlooks a spectacular urban view – layers of rooftops and buildings rising up towards the city. The building also has an unusually positioned core – close to the main façade, creating a sunlit but narrow corridor of space.

A kitchen was inserted into a compressed corridor space with a plywood shelf running the length of the façade. The workplace was wrapped in a painted black band that sitting underneath the regular rhythm of windows, anchoring them and giving a strong graphic quality to the space. A bank of plywood meeting rooms create a backdrop to the workplace, with a central shared utilities space slicing through the centre, connecting to the service corridor behind.

Street artist Brett Chan was commissioned to paint a graphic black and white backdrop to the main workstation area, and custom joinery was used to layer the space with texture and pattern.
