Throughout the gauge, where the focus is on the individual, traditional desks interplay with work style alternatives. Intimate lounge areas by the open fire, complete with board games and magazines, cultivate an ethos which sanctions personal time. The environment is diverse — social but professional. The glazed meeting rooms, full of natural light, foster collaboration and team work, while elsewhere den-like concrete walls enclose for seclusion and privacy. A visual constant is a genuine, warm palette of exposed unfinished concrete, stone, timber, wool, linen and greenery. The sophisticated result reflects the authenticity and diversity of Melbourne’s commercial and cultural aesthetic.
