At 469 and 485 La Trobe Street, traditional commercial lobbies have been reimagined as open, public spaces designed for pause, interaction and informal work.
This repositioning strategy reflects a broader shift in how buildings contribute to the public realm, extending value beyond the tenant and into the city itself.
As discussed by our Melbourne Design Week panel, activating the ground plane is key to restoring relevance, safety and civic life in a hybrid workforce landscape.

Central to our design for Chisholm Institute`s Frankston Campus redevelopment was the conceptualisation of a "green spine".
Extending diagonally throughout the grounds, the green spine provides a seamless connection between existing buildings and external recreation areas, creating a welcoming and easy-to-navigate environment for patrons.
Acting as an artery that connects the entire Institute, the spine has also been designed to easily integrate future additions to the campus with existing assets.
