Ellivo Architects are drawing comments and excitement throughout the industry for their bold fit-out in their recently opened office in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley.  Their new space has felt like home since the day they moved in and the feedback couldn’t be better.  The offices, on the ground Level of 108 Wickham St, Fortitude Valley are all-black with splashes of yellow and texture.

The team was focused on delivering a fit-out that was inviting to staff and clients and represented how they operated.  Utilising the full volume of the shell of the space revealed the services and workings of the building.  Likewise the open plan office is very much on show and clients and consultants are invited to be part of the studio environment.

“It is the epitome of modern chic, and says a lot about who we are as a business,” says Director Mason Cowle.  “As Architects and Interior Designers it is important that we demonstrate our capability for clients on our own space”.

The new open plan offices have been designed with collaborative ideas form the whole team.   The core of the design stemmed from lifecycle and minimalisation. Materials are not used unnecessarily to hide building bones, Arras workstations from Herman Miller have end of life management and no chemical bonding, and the whole layout can be rearranged to suit changing needs under the random zigzag of the suspended lighting.

“We have delivered a striking interior on a budget which speaks for itself. Our clients and staff both love the new environment.  And the layout is working so well in terms of team collaboration and communication” said Tanya Zealey, Associate Interior Designer.

 The new workspace provides a great space for meetings, creativity and collaboration and reflects our culture and ethos of designing success. Tanya explains that the use of yellow was associated with happiness and to lift the space against the black canvas.  The yellow of the wallpaper, workstations and accessories, amount of daylight and the feature planting all contribute to the quality of the workspace.
