Fit for a king

With employees spending more and more time in the office, the role of interior designers is becoming an increasingly essential factor in the updating and design of new work spaces.

This design by the Smith Madden Group of the St. George Bank head office (Melbourne Stock Exchange) is no exception, and a pleasure for us to shoot.

Seemingly, no expense was spared in creating what must be on of the best work places we have seen! The use of colour is bold and bright, quite unlike the subdued tones of other conservative offices in town, such as Macquarie further up Collins St. (brown and tan).

The influence of the two colours, red and gold, have great symbolic appeal, and are very auspicious in China and appear to have been used similarly in this space. Notably, some colours, usually white, have been said should be avoided at all costs! We're just wondering if the designers had a Feng Shui consultant work on the project?!

It certainly is award winning design, and undoubtedly fit for a king!
