bureau^proberts Creek Street

The project involved consolidating bureau^proberts’ split tenancies into a single workspace that supports a growing team and evolving operational needs. The design needed to balance focus and collaboration, making effective use of the existing floor plate within a 1970s high-rise. A key challenge was to maintain and amplify the fabric of the building and occupy the floor with a series of work and collaboration spaces, meeting nodes, and work cafés, encouraging interaction and engagement. The goal was to create a spatial experience that reflected the practice’s identity while achieving performance, cost, and sustainability goals within a tight delivery timeframe.

The design solution reflects bureau^proberts’ values of collaboration, adaptability, and connection to place. The fit-out reinterprets the 1970s modernist architecture of 100 Creek Street through a contemporary lens, retaining the building’s raw concrete structure and celebrating its full-height glazing to maximise light, views, and spatial clarity. An open, gallery-like floorplate integrates meeting pods, work zones and model displays to support creativity, flexibility, and team interaction. A restrained palette, suspended greenery, and careful lighting contribute to a calm, timeless atmosphere. The layout balances focus and collaboration, accommodating a growing team while enhancing workplace efficiency, identity and long-term operational resilience.

The design of our new headquarters enhances the way we work by fostering collaboration, flexibility, and well-being. The open-plan layout encourages communication and teamwork, while the gallery-like arrangement of spaces allows for a balance between focused work and creative interaction. Natural light and views of the city improve both productivity and well-being, while the calming monochromatic palette and green elements support creativity. The flexible design accommodates our growing team and evolving needs, creating a workspace that reflects our core values of adaptability, sustainability, and innovation, and ultimately enhancing how we enjoy our work, and interact as a practice.
