Natural light filters through every corner of Market Lane, as it flows unobstructed through a seven-metre atrium at the centre of this newly-completed office building, in the hub of South Melbourne.
Windows adjust, allowing fresh air to circulate freely throughout the office spaces. Doors open onto edible gardens with olive trees and lush native plants, where meeting rooms with see-through walls have been set up, along with seating for breaks and social interaction.
The occupants can pop into the gardens to enjoy their lunch or even to work on a desk, under the shade of a tree overlooking the city. And if the office gets too busy, they can withdraw into an ‘isolation’ pod with glass walls, where they can work productively in silence, without however feeling removed. Even room temperature can be controlled by each individual, an important convenience many I’m sure, can relate to.
