The overall strategy for the open space planning within Zhuhai was to create an iconic environment that builds upon the site's unique context, forming a CBD that looks outwardly to its waterfront and harbour

HASSELL is actively involved in designing a public realm that will become an inviting and memorable part of the city fabric. Celebrating the modern and historical nature of the site, the public realm bridges the gap between the two creating a series of spaces that compliment the nature of the surrounding built environment

The Government Services Offices development is one of the first key projects of the Revitalising Central Dandenong initiative, a major urban renewal initiative

By creating an infinity pool-style water feature, both the natural and artificial elements are integrated visually, while the buildings have been designed to be surrounded by water. This gives the architectural impression that the buildings are 'floating' on water. Both the concept of the water feature and the layout of the buildings reflect the unique characteristics of Chongqing, which is known as the city 'connected by two rivers'

Occupying an important corner position near Queen Street Mall, this 35 storey high-rise building will accommodate approximately 38,000 square metres of flexible office space above a five storey podium building.

The primary focus for Pink Diamonds was to engage occupants to feel a define path of travel and sense of arrival, while maintaining a refined simplicity of both material and detail

The strategy of creating large and smaller hubs through the shared facilities across the floor plates provide a strong community destination zone and enhances not only workplace communication and collaboration but also the informal and social aspects of the workplace community

The brief called for a 'studio' office environment that would reflect the creative team at George Patterson Y&R (and its subbrands) while still being a practical modern office

The two proposed office buildings house local utilities and government departments, all with a public aspect allowing for the activation of street frontages. The building mass forms strong urban edges and addresses the corners that are on prominent roads leading to the city centre

The design principles and strategies for the demonstration site will be implemented across the whole of the Eco City through a comprehensive guidelines document

The concept for the tower evolved from the historical pole housing structures or 'diaojiao', perched over terraced landscapes

The Rock is a 60-storey commercial tower in Chongqing. Its form is generated as the logical, contextual response to the topographical features that surround the city. The structure is intended to be both natural and embedded in its surroundings, at the same time being a distinctive and recognisable sculptural form

The new Alibaba Headquarters is a benchmark for the modern workplace in China, comprising 150,000 square metres of flexible open plan office space within a campus style layout.

The dtac corporate philosophy of 'play and learn' is successfully reflected in the design of this new workplace, challenging conventional notions of arrival, meeting, concentration and relaxation spaces

Timber, plywood and cork have been used to create a raw and natural environment. A timber screen gives privacy to a lounge area and casual meeting spaces are scattered throughout the workplace. Recycled materials have been used for joinery and a mix of new and used furniture adds a feeling of comfort and warmth

While the Australian headquarters were informed by the activities of surfing, skiing and golf, the design for the Swiss-based workplace and showroom draws its inspiration from the surrounding landscape, particularly the winter snowfields

Through the briefing stages PTTEP sought to support existing activities and behaviours of its staff while encouraging knowledge transfer between them. This resulted in strategic zoning of dedicated spaces for both interaction and retreat

The new AXA workplace brought together staff from separate sites around Melbourne's CBD to create 'one AXA' and established the institution's new head office for the Asia Pacific region

Bringing together separate business units into one organisational community and attracting and retaining talented staff were key goals for SA Water. Employees were continually engaged and consulted throughout the design process

The challenge of this project – to re-life the former Keating's Bread Factory to create a suite of open plan interconnected studio and meeting spaces – was augmented by our role as both client and designer

The design responds to the heritage constraints of the existing Barracks building and the dynamics of a new commercial office development. It provides diverse and adaptable arrangements allowing for flexibility in how and where staff interact and work

The design takes a non-traditional approach to corporate environments and acknowledges the journey of ingredients from farm to factory. It celebrates and reinforces National Foods' commitment to primary producers, manufacturing and food production.

Through intensive staff consultation the design meets the goals of the Optus people, reflects the image that the organisation has sought to project to customers, and addresses the opportunity of creating a single Optus community

As the designer for the new fitout, HASSELL translated the guidelines of Standard Chartered Bank's Global Design Standards into a physical work environment that is fresh, energetic and contemporary, at the same time maintaining a link with the long history of the organisation

The master plan envisages a thriving civic hub criss-crossed by a new network of pedestrian spaces and laneways

To step outside the concept of reality means to step into a world of discovery. Concepts like the journey of discovery and the tree of knowledge are explored through actual manifestations of ideas

KPMG's new workplace extends over five floors in the Harry Seidler designed Riparian Plaza. Accommodating over 400 staff, the KPMG workplace is a response to the firm's desire to project an appropriate professional image within a welcoming and relaxed environment

A neutral colour palette was selected for general spaces and furniture employing accent elements such as an astroturf rug and parquet lined resource area to signify the 'ligne de force' – the fourteen families of scent used by perfumers to characterise smells

Energy efficiency and minimisation, recycled and recyclable materials, product stewardship and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions were all considerations in the design and choice of materials and finishes. The result is a workplace that meets ecological objectives while providing a healthy, sustainable environment for its occupants

Our key goal in this project was to create a sustainable workplace that exemplifies the HASSELL vision and the HASSELL Sustainability Strategy. Creating our own sustainable workplace allowed us to experiment with workplace systems and innovative methodologies while committing to the Green Star Office Interiors rating system

The design is a modern interpretation of Chinese values that celebrates its Australian context and China's position as one of Australia's most important global partners. Carefully framed views and diffused screen elements express a dialogue between the interior and exterior spaces
