The Intersection of Innovation and Luxury: Buchan and State28 Interiors Revolutionise 226 Adelaide Terrace with Bauhaus Brilliance

The results will be extraordinary when two illustrious firms like Buchan and State 28 Interiors come together. That is precisely what happened at 226 Adelaide Terrace, a colossal, sustainable, low-rise office complex in Perth’s bustling CBD. This architectural and design marvel, marked by exquisite aesthetics and advanced technology, signifies the zenith of luxury and functionality in contemporary office spaces.

Renowned for its extensive portfolio, Buchan has been delivering architectural assets of enduring quality for 130 years. With their global team of design experts, they understand people and places, creating inviting and familiar destinations. On the other side, State28 Interiors, a boutique design studio, is famed for its unique and personalised approach to residential and commercial interiors. They bring an intricate understanding of how office furniture and space can impact the psychology of the people who inhabit it.

The building is a cornerstone of modernist design, laced with sustainable elements that echo the ethos of environmental responsibility. With their profound architectural prowess, Buchan has crafted a structure where forms are robust yet straightforward, merging seamlessly with the surrounding urbanscape. The aesthetic purity is maintained throughout the design, from its imposing lobby to the six floors of efficient office space above.

Buchan has managed to weave the vital elements of energy-efficient systems, thus creating a self-sustaining building that marries the past’s wisdom with the future’s technology. The 2,500-square-meter efficient floor plates centre around a light court, a feature unique to Perth’s architectural scene.

State 28’s involvement elevates the project to a whole new level. Focusing on complementing the building’s assets, like the central atrium and natural light abundance, they’ve approached the project with a tailored strategy that balances aesthetics and efficiency. By incorporating office furniture that embodies a unique design flair, they’ve successfully created spaces that look luxurious and functionally superior.

The decision to incorporate LEN’s Bauhaus Grid Lounges and Bauhaus Grid Ottomans speaks volumes about the project’s commitment to blending functionality with high-end design. The Bauhaus Grid Lounge is versatile, combining squares, circles, and rectangles. These can be grouped in diverse compositions to suit various needs, from a bustling office environment to serene public seating.

The office furniture’s intersecting lines present a graphical dimension, imparting a visual identity that is strong yet sophisticated. Its soft quilted forms meet the ergonomic demands of today’s fast-paced work culture, making it a beautiful piece of furniture and a functional one. The Bauhaus Grid Ottoman follows the same design principles but offers even more flexibility. Its compact, gently curved shapes make it ideally suited for both small and large open-plan interiors. Like the Grid Lounge, the Ottoman offers office furniture that brings aesthetic coherence while promoting an inviting, adaptable setting.

Both pieces cater to the practical demands of a busy workplace and serve as aesthetic anchors, adding a layer of sophistication that enriches the overall design narrative. The Bauhaus Grid Lounge and Grid Ottomans, in muted colours, can be found in one of the floors of the space in front of the elevator inviting anyone to experience its elegance and comfort.

At 226 Adelaide Terrace, office furniture is not merely practical but an expression of the space’s soul. The Bauhaus Grid Lounge and Ottoman embody the modern, luxurious, and functional values that Buchan and State 28 hold dear. The chosen furniture not only adheres to the brief of affordability and short lead time but transcends it to offer designs that could become classics in the annals of office furniture.

State 28’s unique talent lies in its ability to make strategic furniture choices that uplift a space without overwhelming it, proving that early engagement and a meticulous approach to design can create an environment that exceeds expectations.


With 226 Adelaide Terrace, Buchan and State28 Interiors have set a new standard in luxury office spaces. They’ve demonstrated that the perfect alignment of brilliant architecture, elegant interior design, and well-chosen office furniture can create an environment where businesses can function and flourish. Indeed, in the highly competitive world of corporate real estate, 226 Adelaide Terrace stands as a paragon of what is achievable when vision, skill, and creativity converge.
