Ausgrid NSW Office
A Beacon of Sustainability and Indigenous Artistry: The Ausgrid NSW Office by Group GSA
In the bustling heart of Sydney, the Ausgrid NSW Office stands as a testament to a unique blend of sustainability, sophistication, and cultural acknowledgement. This architecturally designed space by Group GSA, a multi-award-winning Australian firm, strikes an impeccable balance between modern workplace design and respect for the local Indigenous heritage.
Group GSA, renowned for its ethos of collaboration and connectivity, has been operating since 1979 and is among Australia’sAustralia’s top design firms. This project reflects their commitment to a better-built environment that is sustainable and beneficial to society. They have built their reputation on delivering design excellence profitably, a philosophy that shines through in the newly transformed Ausgrid NSW Office.
As an established energy provider, Ausgrid set out to pioneer future ways of working, engaging Group GSA to create an empowered and inclusive culture within their new workspace. The resultant design is a visual ode to the concept of ”Lighting Storms across Rural Australia,” bringing to life an authentic indigenous narrative intertwined with the natural palette of finishes. Every detail, from the green walls on each level to the energy-efficient circadian lighting, underscores Ausgrid’s sustainability objective.
One unique feature of the space is incorporating Australian made leather lounges and Australian designer furniture. One of the lounges comes from LEN’s Softscape collection. The Softscape leather lounge, in coffee brown, can be found inside the office’s boardroom. This lounge was chosen for its capacity to marry aesthetics with function, offering spaces for collaboration and secluded focus. The Softscape lounge enhances the office’s overall design ethos, creating a luxurious and relaxed environment.
LEN’s Softscape lounge is a standout feature, balancing comfort with a sophisticated design aesthetic. The Softscape lounge, crafted from high-quality Australian leather, offers flexibility within interior settings that few furniture pieces can provide. Their modularity and reconfigurability make them ideal for dynamic, modern workspaces prioritising individual productivity and team collaboration.
The Ausgrid NSW Office represents a distinct progression in the evolution of modern workspaces, moving away from traditional offices towards a more agile and collaborative environment. Private offices are eschewed for breakout zones, focus pods, and larger collaborative spaces – all complemented by the Australian made leather lounges and Australian made designer furniture, particularly, from LEN’s Softscape collection.
By incorporating Australian made leather lounges, Australian designer furniture, and other office furniture pieces from locally sourced artisans, Group GSA has created a beautiful, functional space and affirmed its commitment to supporting Australian industries. This commitment echoes throughout the design, embodying an uplifting blend of local craftsmanship, luxury, and innovation.
Ausgrid’s NSW Office now stands as a benchmark for sustainable, inclusive work environments that embrace the future while acknowledging the past. It’s a space that tells a story – one of the lightning storms and Australian made leather lounges of indigenous artistry and modern sustainability. At its heart, it is a testament to Group GSA’s philosophy of sector expert-led teams achieving design excellence profitably.
As we look to the future of workspace design, the Ausgrid NSW Office offers a shining example. It’s a place where Australian made leather lounges and Australian designer furniture sit comfortably beside sustainable features, where indigenous art meets corporate culture, and where the workplace of the future takes root. This is the legacy of Group GSA, crafting spaces that inspire, engage and endure.
