Bankwest Place

Australian property development group, Charter Hall engaged us to help transform the public realm of Bankwest Place with a design that honours Whadjuk Noongar Country’s distinctive landscape and rich culture. Inspired by the region’s distinct natural landforms, our design placed emphasis on the concept of formation, using layers, shapes and angles that honour the tones and textures of Western Australia to create an intricate yet all-encompassing space that responds to the site’s unique location in the centre of a premium CBD retail district.

The building’s grandeur design was defined by stone ribbon wrapped glazed façade, acting as a datum for the human scale of the building’s entrance and drawing users in through an inviting abundance of natural light. Internally, a concerted mix of warm timber, stone and metal textures juxtapose the deep orange hues that accent throughout the space.

The aesthetics were enhanced through functional design features aimed at fostering shared workplace experiences, including flexible open function areas with booth seating, semi-private meeting rooms and state-of-the-art technology enabled conference suites.
