Company

Monash University Clayton- School of Psychological Sciences
Monash Institute of Cognitive and Clinical Neurosciences (MICCN)

Brief

To refurbish the existing common lobby and hallway space in order to align the interior with the objectives and current standing of the science and learning faculty.

The space requires more prominent branding and to be presented as a dynamic, intelligent, young, fresh and current space. The department wants to convey an appearance so as it is also viewed as a commercially viable and professional entity.

A clean, modern colour palette, reflective in the school’s current logo design, and natural materials, is to be used throughout the space.

The department deals in various areas of study related to the human brain and would like to feature this innovative work and engage visitors, staff and students alike by displaying in its common area.

The Monash University school require their basic finishes and colour palette to be used in the selection of carpet and other more permanent finishes for the renovations. The University’s standard colour palette is relatively neutral and accordingly, our colour and finishes selections are required to coordinate and work well with those finishes.

Floor Passage / Lobby

Outcome

Monash University chose IN2 SPACE as their preferred commercial interior designer in Melbourne to complete this milestone project with them. Our reputation as office interior designers and refurbishment providers in Melbourne means we are chosen for our expertise and consultative approach.

IN2 SPACE provided a complete commercial Interior Design and Documentation service.

Our vision, objectives and philosophy for the space was realised in producing a space which was functional, dynamic and transparent yet clean an uncluttered in appearance with splashes of colour and movement throughout.

The discipline of neuroscience deals with the brain, concepts of intelligence and scientific learning around this area. The brain, in layman’s terms consists of groups of neurons being a series of small particles floating in a contained matter with enormous amounts of surrounding space to create an abundance of paths and connections.

The concept for the space and the Fitout Elements throughout that space emulates the dynamics of a functioning brain. The space conveys movement, an openness and a sense of transparency.

Items such as webbed structures, coloured transparent glass, meshed type furniture and large graphic imagery simulating brain function neuropathic connections were used.

Strong and visible branding for both the School of Psychological Sciences and the Monash Institute of Cognitive and Clinical Neurosciences (MICCN) was reinforced especially in both areas exiting from the lifts and approaching various contact points/reception functioning areas.

By Employing items such as super-sized wall graphic images and flat screen displays we provided an avenue to display current information and inform of up-and-coming events. Those items also assist in providing movement, colour and changing visual interest in the space.

Since the area is shared by 2 related disciplines of study and research, it visually reflect those 2 areas:

School of Psychological Sciences
Monash Institute of Cognitive and Clinical Neurosciences – MICCN

In de-cluttering the existing space we moved bins and chairs out of sight which were currently in the passages.

We removed wall display/pin-boards from walls and replaced them with dynamic flat screen displays informing visitors of the works being undertaken in the areas of study.

The department and senior personnel are extremely excited with the outcome and the department also now presents as a professional body and hence attracts additional funding and support.

Office Building Refurbishment Design | 256 Queen St Melbourne

Company

256 Queen Street is a building situated just North of Lonsdale Street in Melbourne. It occupies an area surrounded by private education + trades colleges with numerous retail stores also nearby.

Brief

The business building was initially built in the 1970’s and had undergone a refurbishment in the 1990’s by a decorating firm with the result being an interior which portrayed a very residential appearance. It was lacking the commercial office design that commercial buildings generally require when zoned for business use.

The brief provided to IN2 SPACE was to create an inviting and contemporary entrance/ground floor lobby space which would enable the landlord + office building to attract the calibre of tenant desired.

The refurbishment was to be undertaken on a tight budget + therefore clever design and detailing was required to achieve the best result for the monies allocated for the building upgrade design.

Outcome

IN2 SPACE provided a complete service, Designing + Documenting all works for the refurbishment of the building lobby in Melbourne project.

The building lobby + entrance were given a face-lift. New lobby wall cladding was creatively used where we had gloss grey panels to one side + white high gloss panels accentuated by polished aluminium trim fins to the other side.

Feature lighting in the form of recessed light boxes + suspended pendants placed at the entrance of the space further provided movement for the space.

New building signage was designed for the front of the building + a lit up modern directory board were provided.

The ceiling was rationalised and the numerous services + fittings were streamlined to provide a cleaner appearance.

A visual focal point consisting of a lit up element in a striking green colour with lines appearing to move as you approach, was designed for the visitor entering the lift lobby.

Previously there was a long corridor that met the visitor on entering the building. This was an unappealing aspect in the form of a non descript wall in the very far distance. The building entrance space now is tasteful, modern + inviting for the visitor + tenant alike and the refurbishment should see the entrance space appealing to visitors + tenants for many more years to come.

Here is a great example of one of our commercial building refurbishments Melbourne.

Company

Wisewoulds Lawyers have been practising law in Melbourne since 1853 + the business is built around tightly held core values with a flair + want to be different + not conform to its piers.

Brief

To relocate from their current multi-floor location in a 50 year old mundane style high rise building to a more identifiable + uniquely individual building.

Wisewoulds were seeking to achieve a more coherent + collaborative workspace for their staff in their new commercial offices in Melbourne.

The current layout lacked openness + communication channels between senior + supporting staff. They wanted to stand out from the rest of their piers by being located in a space that was extremely unique + individual. Entertainment + hosting social events for their clients was a space requirement for the new space to satisfy.

Size

Over 3500sqm of commercial office space in the Melbourne CBD.

Outcome

IN2 SPACE were chosen from a number of design firms and provided a complete Design and Documentation service for the proposed office fit out in Melbourne, Victoria.

Working closely with the client and all the consultants involved, IN2 SPACE achieved very well apportioned and sensitive workspaces over numerous floors within the building.

Various business functions and departments were carefully planned to be located within areas and floors in the space to allow the business the flexibility required to cater for the ebb + flow in department staffing.

The Reception + meeting spaces occupy a large part of the entire top most floor + the architectural detailing harmonious and accentuating the period features + heritage era of the building.

Wisewoulds had a love for the “ArtDeco” period with this client housing floors successfully modelled on this Romantic yet dynamic style. Warm timber finishes + highlighting chrome finishes were introduced into the detailing of furniture + fittings without going to the extreme which would have lost the appeal.

The remaining support working floors were designed with communication between employees + departmental interrelationships being of paramount importance.

Wisewoulds now occupy an office fit out in Melbourne that is extremely individual + exceptionally functional + all involved are extremely excited with the outcome achieved.
