The Brief
Xperion Accounting is a national accountancy firm based in the western Brisbane suburb of Kenmore. They sought a renovation of their existing office to allow more natural light into the interiors and revamp both the public-facing and staff work areas. The brief called for a waiting area, two offices with glazed frontages, and an open-plan work area for staff, with careful planning required from the construction and electrical teams to bring the space up to current safety standards.
The Outcome
Xperion Accounting now has a fresh, light-filled office that serves their team and clients well — modern in its look, practical in its layout, and a genuine improvement on what came before. The glazed office frontages and considered use of natural light make the space feel significantly larger than its footprint suggests.
The Design
A key design priority was allowing natural light to penetrate throughout the building. Given that windows are located along one side only, the office layout was revised to ensure the workspaces received the most benefit from the available light. The boardroom and offices were positioned with glazed frontages on the same side, with large openings to maximise light flow. A neutral and light colour palette was selected to amplify the effect, with warmth and elegance introduced through timber-look screens throughout.
Construction
The 120 sqm rebuild was delivered within five weeks, on time and within budget. A significant element of the construction was the replacement of the old electrical wiring with new services and infrastructure to bring the building up to current safety standards. All partitioning, glazing, joinery, flooring, and fit-out works were coordinated efficiently across the compact space.
