The project
FMD Architects designed these chambers for a QC in the Melbourne CBD as a place to work, meet and think between court appearances. The room is arranged around Plate Glass 2, an urban train scene by Melbourne artist Sam Shmith that reinterprets the skyline views outside.
Black tones and lighting by Christopher Boots continue the conversation with the artwork. Tasmanian oak veneer joinery rises from the deep green carpet in a profile that echoes the city skyline and holds the working storage. A meeting table sits in the middle of the room, and a standing desk inspired by Churchill stands on the far wall. The chambers were completed in 2020.
