- The Fire Services component consisted of Authorities Negotiations and Liaison, assessment and modification to the existing fire system.
- The ESD design component include high-efficiency air conditioning system, energy efficient smart lighting systems and hot water systems.
- Referring to the above images, you'll notice:
- The Four Rings - The interior design was well thought out, with the clever combination of circular pendant lights paired with circular furniture in the high-ceiling study area. These elegant lights work together to inspire creativity, with the large windows bringing in natural light whilst adding warm hues of light above their workspace.
- The Mighty Timber - the beautiful timber designed beams above the central working stations add texture and a point of interest to the white-walled high ceilings. These secretly-practical beams were actually designed to provide a safe working environment, hosting retractable power, lighting and the projector so that outlets are out of reach whilst also providing for a clean open space.
