The furniture is hardwood with a lot of book shelves, an impressive living area acting as an art gallery and a large fully equipped kitchen.

Elements like the patterns of the Bolon Floor or the Imac zone desk and bench were highlighted through the careful consideration of the lighting designer.

 The communal spaces for the students reduce the need of some individual requirements and thus save more energy. The kitchenettes, study rooms and TV rooms improve interaction and reduce wastage while also being more time efficient. The materials and furnishings were chosen for their durability so that they would resist the daily use and one of the most important elements was the Bolon woven textile due to the high durability and sustainable source.

Fujitsu Headquarters design in Sydney, Australia

 The Woods Bagot architecture has designed the Oceania Headquarters for Fujitsu in Sydney, Australia with a total surface of 9000 square meters spread over five floors that were created to focus on the employees and customers.
The design wants to integrate with the building and thus Woods Bagot worked closely with the Fujitsu employees to bring together the base lobby and from there continue into the work areas on the upper levels.A central staircase is what links the five floors and it leads to the kitchen, social areas or work environments. There aren’t any allocated desks since an agile workspace concept was preferred to encourage the staff to vary in their work practices since a new setting might bring new ideas with it.

There are sit-to-stand work spots on each floor and interactive zones as well. The Japanese heritage of the firm is references through several origami motifs and the layering of timber, while the oak timber cladding in the meeting rooms and the handmade furniture bring an organic element to the aesthetic.
