End of Trip Facilities Fortitude Valley

RAW Commercial Projects designed and constructed a 113m² end-of-trip facility in a basement carpark, transforming a sterile concrete space into a vibrant, welcoming amenity for building tenants. The result is a standout value-add for the property — functional, beautifully finished, and designed to encourage healthier ways of getting to work.

The Brief

RAW Commercial Projects were engaged to design and build end-of-trip facilities for a commercial building, with the goal of encouraging tenants to embrace active and healthy commuting. The project involved partitioning part of a basement carpark and constructing a new structure within it to house the full suite of EOT amenities — a technically challenging scope that required careful planning, precise construction, and strict safety protocols to protect tenants and visitors throughout the build. Project Managers Jason Krisanski and Chris Crombie jointly oversaw the operation, with Interior Designer Henna Viikari leading the design.

The Outcome

The finished EOT facility is a genuine transformation — and a compelling demonstration of what thoughtful design can do with an unpromising starting point. Tenants now have access to a modern, well-appointed facility that makes active commuting a genuinely attractive option, and the building owners have a meaningful value-add that strengthens the property’s appeal to quality commercial tenants. RAW is proud of every aspect of this project — from the design ingenuity required to bring warmth to a concrete basement, to the construction precision needed to deliver it safely and on spec. A small footprint, but an outsized result.

The Design

Working from a blank canvas in a basement carpark, Henna’s primary challenge was to transform a cold, utilitarian environment into a space that felt genuinely inviting. The design response is warm, considered, and detailed — a far cry from the functional-only approach that EOT facilities so often receive. The bathrooms set the tone, featuring modern round vanity bowls, black fixtures and fittings, timber benchtops and doors, and LED-backlit mirrors that provide both practical task lighting and a soft, flattering glow in the absence of natural light. The overall palette is clean and uncluttered, with dynamic yellow and black signage doing the wayfinding work clearly and with personality. Bright yellow paint marks the entry to the facility, drawing users in from the carpark and signalling the transition from utilitarian to considered. In the bike storage corridor, a row of simple black pendant lights delineates the walkway and bike path — a subtle but effective design gesture that brings warmth and definition to what could easily have been a forgettable space. Pathways throughout were planned to ensure ease of movement, with particular attention to peak-use flow and sufficient space for manoeuvring bikes and equipment.

Construction

The construction of this EOT facility was a genuinely complex undertaking. Partitioning and building within an operational basement carpark required careful sequencing and rigorous safety management to minimise disruption and risk to the building’s tenants and visitors throughout. Specialist trades were coordinated across concreting, plumbing, electrical, painting, joinery, and signage — all managed by Project Managers Jason Krisanski and Chris Crombie to RAW’s full compliance and quality standards. The completed 113m² facility includes bike racks for approximately 13 bikes, a dedicated bike repair station, separate male and female shower, change room and toilet facilities with ambulant provisions, a unisex disabled shower and toilet, and locker storage throughout.
