Artillery

Using play on scale and clever detailing, this fitout project for the AEU celebrates a creative, unique and varied use of readily available timber products and wall paneling. The result is an energised workplace with diverse spaces that fosters a culture of collaboration.

This project delivers a contemporary fitout on a very reasonable budget by utilising readily available, commonplace materials. Curved elements provide a unique visual effect through the use of 2,000 individually laid timber dowels.

This 1960s heritage listed theatre was taken back to core fabric – the elegant timber panelling was considered of ‘heritage interest’, and was maintained to recognise the unique qualities of the original design. The theatre remains contemporary and uniquely Melbourne, but is now revitalised, attracting a greater diversity of users.
