Darlinghurst Workplace | BVN

Darlinghurst Workplace celebrates the radical adaptation of a brick warehouse into a contemporary workplace in Sydney. BVN was tasked with rehousing a 300+ workforce across 3 levels of a near century old former car garage. Collaborating with a highly skilled fire engineer allowed the introduction of a new floor to the old warehouse in mass timber, combatting structural limitations, construction efficiency and embodied carbon. A void with skylight above was carved from the building’s centre to welcome natural light and encourage movement between all levels and comradery across teams.

New outdoor terraces enhance the connection with the local context and fresh air, fostering wellness for the occupants. The fun and humour of this workplace’s culture is injected into the architecture through colour, materiality, and a unique and quirky art collection. The result is a reimagined workplace with culture as the driver and fun at its core.
