After 20 years in Mount Waverley, 7-Eleven, Starbucks and the Wither’s Family made the move to Church Street, Richmond. The move saw staff, who were previously between two buildings, come together across five floors.

A sense of energy has been created as employees buzz from floor to floor and dash between unusual spaces – break out areas, cones of silence – making the most of everything available to them. This inspiring atmosphere is enhanced through the vertical connection that goes beyond the stair; voids spanning 5 floors create a greater impression of space, while visual and aural connection fosters a sense of community.

Best practice sustainability initiatives were incorporated into the project with Green Star and WELL Gold Rating System used as benchmark.

Significant upgrades to the existing smoke exhaust and air conditioning systems were required as part of the works to ensure compliance with current codes.
