A new headquarters for a boutique property financing agency, 320 Rokeby explores a more hospitable approach to workplace architecture and establishes a memorable identity for the organisation. Prioritising a warm and welcoming experience for daily users and visitors alike, it features a layered, contextual approach that extends seamlessly from the street interface through to the warm touches that define the interior.
Shared spaces at ground level and a generous double height entry and Level 1 balcony enliven the façade and manage scale at the street interface. Set within the constraints of a small zero setback site, the building evokes an open, generous presence to the public realm; it’s a small building with a big heart.

We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.
We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
