The Brief
Global insurer HDI Global sought a fresh look for their Brisbane CBD office, with distinct characters between the open-plan and front-of-house areas. The concept incorporated light and earthy tones with clean lines and contemporary features. The office flow needed to be intuitive, accommodating both staff and public-facing functions — including a welcome and reception area, boardroom, meeting room, two quiet rooms, a communications room, a staff kitchen and breakout space, and open-plan working area for 20 staff.
The Outcome
HDI Global’s Brisbane office now has a look and feel that matches the calibre of the global brand it represents — contemporary, well-resolved, and finished to a high standard. The distinction between the front-of-house and work environments gives the space both professionalism and practicality.
The Design
A key focus of the interior design was creating a contemporary and light office with two distinct aesthetics for public-facing and internal areas. In the front-of-house zone, plush neutral carpet in two different patterns was installed for a comfortable ambiance, with feature white ribbed pendant lights above.
Connecting through to the office areas, polished concrete flooring runs through the welcome area, corridors, and staff kitchen — complemented by soft walnut and white cement laminates in the kitchen and a terracotta herringbone-pattern splashback tile. In the workstation area, white powder-coated legs and soft walnut laminate tops continue the palette. Acoustic dividers in the open plan and wall-mounted lights in the quiet rooms add both function and a considered design touch.
Construction
The 229 sqm fitout was delivered in seven weeks, with RAW’s team managing all trades across partitioning, joinery, flooring, tiling, electrical, data, mechanical, and furniture installation. The project was completed on time and within budget.
