Transgrid

Looking to create a more versatile workplace, Transgrid wanted to reposition their office environment in these changing times to reconnect the team, foster community, and support collaboration.

Set across four floors and 6,000sqm at 180 Thomas Street in Sydney’s Ultimo, we were engaged early and through a competitive tender process to deliver the construction of the workplace fitout. Features include an agile working model by way of varied workspaces, including centralised collaboration zones, informal spaces, and focus pods to provide choices and flexibility when it comes to styles of work.

Key to the goal of enhancing collaboration and building on culture, was the revitalisation of the Winter Garden, a collaboration area that can also be used as townhall space. Elsewhere, the front-of-house rooms were crucial for improving the client experience, promoting a welcoming atmosphere, and integrating indigenous elements, celebrating ties with local communities.

With safety, sustainability and making a positive impact core values for Transgrid, existing elements were retained during the repositioning of the workplace, such as back-house meeting rooms and repurposing the timber blades from original telegraph poles for tiered seating in the Winter Garden. Not just a sustainability measure but to also symbolise community and history for the townhalls held in the space.
