The Brief

Stage three at 2 Gardener Close presented RAW’s most ambitious challenge of the program — designing and delivering an 847m² speculative fitout that could function seamlessly as a single tenancy or be subdivided into two if market demand required it. Interior Designer Henna Viikari led the design, tasked with creating a space that felt opulent and considered while remaining genuinely flexible. The fitout needed to accommodate approximately 79 workstations across the full floor, with a full suite of meeting, collaboration, and breakout spaces integrated throughout. Project Manager Jason Krisanski — who had successfully delivered all three stages of the program — managed the construction from start to completion.

The Outcome

Stage three brings an exceptional speculative fitout program to a close in style. Across three stages and four distinct tenancies, RAW’s team — led throughout by Project Manager Jason Krisanski and Interior Designer Henna Viikari — delivered a body of work that has transformed 2 Gardener Close into one of Milton’s most desirable commercial addresses. The Nordic-inspired stage three fitout is the largest and most considered of the series — sophisticated, warm, and designed with the flexibility that today’s commercial leasing market demands. It is a project the entire RAW team is genuinely proud of, and a benchmark for what speculative fitout design and delivery can achieve.

The Design

Drawing on Nordic design principles, Henna developed a scheme that balances restraint with warmth, and minimalism with personality. The core palette is monochromatic — white, grey, and neutral tones anchored by blonde timber accents and clean lines — but it is far from cold. Rich jewel tones of blue and emerald green are introduced as highlights throughout the paintwork and carpet finishes, injecting depth and character while remaining flexible enough for future tenants to personalise the space as they see fit. Flooring combines blonde timber tones with herringbone feature carpet and bold splashes of blue and emerald, creating visual interest underfoot that reinforces the overall design language. Prominent timber panelling in the meeting spaces adds warmth and texture, while the lighting selection is a genuine feature in its own right — lantern-like glass pendants, colourful paper pendants, and large acoustic pendants that are simultaneously striking and practical. True to Nordic philosophy, the floor plan prioritises flow, warmth, and accessibility — with multiple quiet spaces, collaborative meeting areas, and clearly defined pathways connecting every zone of the fitout.

Construction

Delivered in eight weeks from start to completion, the stage three fitout was constructed to RAW’s full compliance and quality standards under the management of Project Manager Jason Krisanski. The 847m² scope encompassed 72 workstations, four offices, two quazi rooms, a 14-person boardroom, two meeting rooms, three collaborative meeting areas, two breakout areas, two quiet rooms, a reception, utility and kitchen facilities, and a dedicated data room. Works included full electrical and lighting installation, painting throughout, flooring installation across all zones, and the complete styling and placement of all loose and fixed furniture. The fitout was also designed and constructed to allow subdivision into two separate tenancies — future-proofing the landlord’s leasing options without compromising the integrity of the design.
