570 Bourke Street has been shortlisted in the Public category for the @ausdesignreview IDEA 2026 Awards.
The refurbishment of 570 Bourke Street, Melbourne set out to create a vibrant and memorable ground plane experience that elevates both the building and the broader precinct.
Drawing inspiration from local Victorian landscapes, the design approach harnesses the building’s unique three-street frontage to zone the ground plane into three distinct experiences:
— Gresham Street as ‘The Forest’
— Bourke Street as ‘The River’
— Ramsay Street as ‘The Mountains’
The tactility, warmth, and richness of the materials are carefully considered to create visual interest and foster a deeper connection to human emotion, evoking a sense of comfort, authenticity, and engagement within the space.

Great biomedical research needs the right environment to thrive.
Gray Puksand has transformed Macquarie University’s South Wing at 2 Innovation Road into a contemporary research environment dedicated to bio-innovation and study.
Through a considered adaptive reuse approach, the former office building has been repurposed to support the complex demands of biomedical research, bringing together clinical trial facilities, contemporary workplace settings, and adaptable PC2 laboratories.
Working closely alongside Macquarie University @macquarieuni and FDC Construction & Fitout, Gray Puksand acted as Executive Architect throughout the design development, documentation, and delivery phases.

100 Melbourne Street Brisbane has been shortlisted in the Workplace Under 1000sqm category for the 2026 @ausdesignreview IDEA Awards, recognising workplace/commercial projects that demonstrate strong spatial planning, sustainability and originality within a compact footprint.
This standout project transforms a former single tenant office into a multitenant workplace with shared arrival and social spaces. Retaining elements of the existing staircase supported a more sustainable approach to the fitout while encouraging incidental moments of connection throughout the workplace.
Drawing from the social character of South Brisbane’s historic Greek clubs, the design references the idea of the plateia, a shared gathering space that supports interaction within the workplace. The redesigned floorplates were stripped back to create adaptable, move in ready spaces capable of accommodating multiple tenants per level, enabling a more resilient and future-focused commercial offering.
Green marble finishes and commissioned artwork by Brisbane-based artist Jess Sellinger contribute to a warm and layered interior expression.

28 Greengate has officially broken ground, marking an important milestone for @newepping’s Greengate Work Precinct.
Designed by Gray Puksand for @riverleegroup the strata office development has been conceived as “a building in the landscape,” responding to its setting alongside Edgars Creek through permeable frontages, generous planting, and strong connections to the public realm.
At the center of the project is a 650sqm+ Northern Plaza with outdoor workstations and informal meeting spaces designed to support flexible working throughout the day.
Designed in the round to respond to its prominent position within the precinct, 28 Greengate combines a contemporary architectural expression with a human-scaled approach connected to the street and surrounding landscape.
