The project
Nettletontribe Architects designed and delivered the Colonial First State workplace at 400 George Street, Sydney, refurbishing six levels of offices and creating a new front of house on Level 15 with reception, meeting rooms, a client lounge and short-stay work settings.
The design was guided by organic flow, resilience and community. Soft, sinuous forms recall water shaping the landscape, and an earthy palette of burgundy, umber and slate blue sits against Tasmanian oak panelling, with planting integrated throughout.
