Commercial Fit-Out up to $5m

SHAPE AUSTRALIA

Project: Arup Office Fit-Out

SHAPE Australia took on a project that was cutting edge in South Australia and well outside the experience of the company. The client’s decision to take the Living Building Challenge on this project, to reflect their values in sustainable construction, provided extraordinary challenges to the builder and their team. The brief required that the project maximise the use of existing and reused materials, and to only use materials outside the “Red List” determined by the Living Future Institute. Low VOC paints and FSC certified timbers were required. The effort required by SHAPE Australia to find, assess and deliver these compliant materials and produce an excellently finished fit-out with almost overwhelming restraints deserves recognition. The project was delivered with a detailed focus on safety by the project team to the complete satisfaction of the consultant team and the client.
