GroupGSA was engaged by Property NSW to design and deliver a new working hub for Western Parkland City Authority (WPCA). The brief required a new workplace that provided access to shared facilities, meeting spaces, social settings, and importantly a working environment conducive to enhancing services to the wider Western Sydney community. Our concept was driven by the notion of trails, connecting people and place. This concept heavily influenced our spatial planning, emphasising the fluidity of how individuals connect and navigate within the workspace. These ‘trails’ represent the core driver of our design, where pathways lead to spaces that seamlessly blend individuals and teams, fostering a flexible and social environment that encourages community growth and collaboration. The colour palette was influenced by the scenic local surroundings, including views of the Blue Mountains and Sydney – embracing warm tones with timber and upholstery. This was further enhanced by subtle references to tonal sandstone and eucalyptus green, paying homage to the nearby Blue Mountains. The fixtures and furniture also gave the space a bright and light feel positioning it in the heart of Penrith and creating a destination for WPCA to connect to the wider, ever-growing urban community of Western Sydney.

Positioned within the heritage envelop of 155 Clarence Street, the brief was simple from our client Eucalyptus - highlight the 1930’s art deco charm, add an editing suite, reuse as much as possible, maximise the light to the centre of each floor, create more meeting spaces and add work points to ensure a fun, fresh and vibrant workplace for the start up. Under a Design & Construct model, CBRE Project Management engaged Hunter Mason, who partnered with GroupGSA and DBS Consulting Australia to activate the space and encourage staff back into the office in early 2022. This was the third project delivered by Hunter Mason in the building and since then we’ve continued to strengthen our active relationship with AXA Investment Managers. #ConstructionManagement #HunterMason #NSWconstruction #Euc #Fitout

Our SHAPE Sydney Team are proud to have completed this four-floor fitout for a client within the newly built Salesforce Tower at Sydney Place! Under a Design & Construct model, the team successfully executed a complex slab infill and stair penetration to create an interconnecting staircase across four levels, as well as service alterations and installations, alongside crafting new partitions, ceilings, and floor and wall finishes while an expansive open void heightened the aesthetics of this stunning office fitout. Resulting in a dynamic and collaborative office space that perfectly aligns with our client’s vision.

PROJECTS | We are thrilled to share the first of our photo series for Endeavour Energy (NSW). As Endeavour Energy undergoes a transformative shift from its traditional poles and wires business to a prominent energy provider, the renovation of its Field Service Centres (FSCs) at Hoxton Park and Kings Park and the creation of its new Parramatta office played a pivotal role in redefining its new work model and surroundings. This transformation aimed to deliver optimal outcomes for its business, customers, communities, and stakeholders.   At the core of this transformation lies WMK's design philosophy, which revolves around three fundamental principles: Empower, Spark, and Connect. Drawing inspiration from both explicit and implicit elements of Endeavour's core business both above and below ground and its entire network of staff, the design incorporates themes reminiscent of electrical grids, network overlays, and visual cues from everyday equipment and tools. It also integrates traditional materials and interconnected landscapes. The result is an environment characterised by warm earthy tones, textured and raw materials, recycled power poles, and industrial motifs.   Within this setting, spaces are designed to be open, transparent, and inherently collaborative enabling Endeavour to operate as one community. They provide the necessary facilities and amenities to support the organisation's new way of working, emphasising flexibility and agility. This adaptability positions the business to seamlessly evolve alongside the ever changing landscape of the energy industry. Central to this design is the Systems Operations Centre, which serves as the heartbeat of the workplace. It offers transparency into the #workspace, creating a unique and immersive working experience.   Furthermore, the design places a strong emphasis on connecting with the natural environment and Indigenous culture and incorporating significant indigenous artworks and sculptures. This connection is fostered through indoor and outdoor spaces that blend seamlessly with the surroundings. Additionally, there is a meaningful collaboration with local Indigenous groups and artists, enriching the cultural tapestry of the workplace.   This new working environment positions Endeavour Energy to continue its mission of powering communities towards a brighter future, aligning its operations with its evolving role as a leading energy provider.
