Agile workplace transformation

Fit-out of REA Group’s (realestate.com.au) new office at Church Street, Richmond.

The team worked to transform a new, semi-integrated building into a modern, flexible and agile workplace.

One of the key aspects of the project was the integration of modern technology platforms into the agile architectural design.

Key features include:

  • Activity Based Workplace (ABW) design
  • Freestanding meeting room pods
  • $3M AV package
  • 700+ workstations
  • 4 comms rooms (1 per floor)
  • Main comms room with gas suppression, VESDA and CRAC unit
  • 77-floor boxes
  • 29 supplementary mechanical A/C units
  • 2,000sqm of epoxy flooring
  • Staff hub and collaboration spaces
