The new Macquarie Bank office headquarters in Sydney, Australia was designed by Clive Wilkinson Architects (CWA) to be forward-thinking in more ways than one. The building's multifaceted interior is designed to meet the most exacting standards of efficiency found in green star and LEED, reducing its overall energy consumption by 50%. The large-scale project is choreographed according to a radical interior plan where “meeting pods” emphasize work collaboration and employee well-being. Described by the architects as “part space station, part cathedral and part vertical Greek village”, Macquarie Bank’s new design completely reinvents the traditional workplace into an office fit for the 21st century.
This is truly prescient design. When the mobs of enraged foreclosed homeless turn on the banks and storm this building, they will be able to quickly and easily convert it into a comfortable sophisticated urban co-housing eco-habitat. This flexible space model is ideal for transforming executive suites into day care centers and fab labs and atriums into vertical farms. Why, there’s even plenty of head room for the guillotines. Got to hand it to these architects for their forward thinking!
I think its the coolest work place i ever seen! i love the colors and how the offices look. Its very modern but its different from other work places.
