155 Fanshawe Street comprises a 4600sqm fitout integrated with the completion of the basebuild works and closing in of the building envelope.  Spanning over 2 open floors, this new building fitout is filled with features ranging from the cedar feature walls to the hanging ceiling frames and the aluminium baffle feature ceiling, and houses over 400 staff.

Due to the breadth and variety of contractors working on the site, constant monitoring and collaboration was required to minimise clashes for working groups and installers.

A key challenge was the large 2000mm diameter circles that could not be formed of steel due to the radius and the sizing. Instead we rolled aluminium plates and welded them together to achieve the desired size for the designer, and remain within weight limits to allow fixing to the aluminium glazing frames.  The finish on the welded edges was ground back and made to look like a solid section.  Once powder coated, it looked fantastic.
