Gray Puksand has crafted a series of sensory rich spaces at 570 Bourke Street, reimagining the ground plane as a vibrant and tactile place for tenants to connect.
The design narrative is shaped by the Victorian landscape, layering a cohesive base palette with tones drawn from the mountains, the river and the forest. Soft forms & filtered views combine to create an experience which feels authentic and approachable.
Layered planting and filtered light reflect the forest, fluid curves and rippling details suggest the river, while earth-toned hues and bold geometries evoke the mountains.
