Media House - IDEA 2023

Media House

Bates Smart

Through careful and innovative design, Media House brings print and digital platforms together under one roof. The design uses the flow of information through the media as inspiration, creating a transparent space connected across all seven floors. Pattern and distortion, scale, materiality and texture are used to imply that things may not always be as they seem. Local materials, such as bluestone in the lobby, café and gallery, bold patterns and warm timbers, reflect The Age’s longstanding role as Melbourne’s newspaper.
