Project summary

Hames Sharley’s Darwin Waterfront Studio is a welcoming and inspiring space for staff and guests, where creativity and collaboration thrive. Informed by an imperative to create an environment conducive to sensory comfort and seamless collaboration, the design draws on the practice’s extensive research and experience in sensory workplace design.

The entry provides guests with a sense of arrival, with Victorian ash battens and handmade light pendants. Internal and external glazing provides transparency and connectivity to the water views and floods the studio in natural light. Clear sightlines provide constant glimpses of the harbour and workpods have been configured to take full advantage of the natural light.

Calm textures, finishes and colours reflect and extend the view of the surrounding harbour, foliage and cliffs. Ottomans in prints by Indigenous artists embody the colours of Larrakia Country.

The new studio showcases modern workplace design, while prioritising staff wellbeing.

The office is a serene space which has the perfect ingredients in achieving a balanced workplace. From the calming sea views, the private, spacious and well equipped workspaces, breakout areas offering social interaction, we feel at home here.

The immediate access to outdoors via the balcony and generous access to amenities, offers respite during stressful times. In comparison to working from home, my preference is always to be in the office!
