The Hill Eatery was looking to differentiate the

restaurant wished to transform their space into a

contemporary hospitality venue aligning with their

vision of serving quality home-grown local produce.

BHP BILLITON ILLAWARRA | GEYERROLE : PROJECT COORDINATOR, CONCEPTS & DESIGN

BHP Billiton’s new Illawara Headquarters delivered

a space supporting greater collaboration, efficiency,

operational intelligence and design relevance. The

major project driver was a focus on supporting

evolution over time in order to remain relevant to

business aspirations and dynamics, as well as a

commitment to longevity and sustainability beyond

the typical ‘box’ ticking often associated with

certification. The design empowers employees by

providing a spacious open plan solution supported

by an extensive selection of well organised

communal spaces. There are areas within the space

shared across the entire organisation.

The projects success was a result of a collaborative

design process that enabled the design, engineering,

information technology, client, and facility

management teams - who would ultimately operate

the facility for its lifetime - to become completely

aligned. This holistic design approach meant that

all aspects of the project were being considered

from inception to completion to ensure that the final

solution would support a seamless transition from

design to operations.

CUE CLOTHING SURRY HILLS | GEYERROLE : PROJECT COORDINATOR, CONCEPTS & DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

A key objective for the new 3000sqm design

studio and showroom space was to have greater

connectivity between people across the company,

from designers to business support, encouraging

mentoring, creativity and business growth. The team

developed a design concept based on ‘threads of

connection’. From entry into the reception, visual

and physical connections are enabled to other

spaces within the environment, encouraging people

to feel part of the organisation and involved in the

creative process. As a result the corporate office,

showroom space and design studios are seamlessly

integrated across the two-floor tenancy. Translucent

glowing cubes form the Cue and Veronika Maine

showrooms, with a light, industrial feature stair

connecting the two spaces creating a clear link while

enabling each brand to retain their own identity.

Design studios adjoin each showroom giving visitors

a fascinating insight into the process of design.

APP NORTH SYDNEY | GEYERROLE : PROJECT COORDINATOR, CONCEPTS & DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

A connected workplace providing a ‘home away

from home’ for their people, and encouraging new

and innovative ways to approach projects was the

project driver for this design.

The response was to dedicate a significant amount

of the space as ‘interactive zones’ to encourage

employees to work together. These zones include

the reception and breakout area on one floor, and

a large lounge area on the second floor. These two

spaces provide a variety of alternate work areas,

including settings for group work, meetings or quiet

work. The idea of collaboration is also articulated

by an internal staircase which visually connects

the two floors and integrates the different business

units. We also introduced bench style desking, with

no partitioning, to encourage interaction. A unique

feature of the design is the use of ‘wardrobes’ to

break up the space and act as a home base for the

surrounding teams, some of whom might be hot

desking.

INSTITUTO CERVANTES | GEYERROLE : PROJECT COORDINATOR, CONCEPTS & DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Winning an international design competition, our

team was appointed to create a new cultural centre

in Sydney to help position The Institute on a global

scale. This is the first Instituto Cervantes in Australia,

designed to further increase the understanding and

awareness of Spanish language and culture across

the Asia-Pacific.

The centre is positioned in a prominent, stand alone

site, with its own unique character and history. It

forms a dynamic and interactive hub that reflects

and embraces modern Spanish culture, challenges

outdated stereotypes, supports and creates dialog

with the local community, attracts and educates

a broad spectrum of students and extends the

appreciation of the Spanish language and culture

throughout Australia. The environment includes

welcome/information area, exhibition space, a cafe,

auditorium and library space.

IAG-NRMA CALL CENTRES | GEYERROLE : PROJECT COORDINATOR, CONCEPTS & DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Clear delineation between work areas and break

out zones allow IAG’s people to focus on their

customer’s call. The dedicated floor of meeting and

training facilities offers large, multifunctional rooms

which can be rearranged according to training

requirements, as well as quiet rooms, small meeting

rooms, and a generous central lounge area for break

out sessions. The space can combine a number of

meeting rooms via opening walls to create a large

‘town hall’ function space for 200-300 people.

To accommodate the broad mix of employees

and provide a sense of workplace community, the

design incorporates a number of distinct areas in the

design. Employees can choose from a quiet study

library with internet stations, a ‘play station’ room,

diverse spaces on each floor filled with soft furniture

in ‘domestic’ settings to encourage employees to

discover their favourite space in the building.

Auditorium Refurbishment, Burswood

SCOPE

OUTCOMES

Full consultancy services including cost / benefit analysis contract administration and post construction services.

EE’KOS was commissioned to carry out updates to the stage of the Riverview Church Auditorium in Burswood, Western Australia. This included stairs, storage, allowance for a future baptismal font, and side of stage storage, with feature blade wall panels for the surrounds of the auditorium integrating a new large projector screen. Riverview wanted to create a crisp, contemporary appearance for their new auditorium, while providing a comfortable and warm feel for its parishioners.

The budget and timeframe were compressed due to nationally televised conferences due to commence in November 2012. With the first client introduction meeting occurring just 3 months earlier, alternative approaches to the delivery had to be considered.

A ‘launchpad’ meeting between EE’KOS and external project members confirmed construction parameters early in the process, and provided an opportunity to identify various moments during the procurement where the quickly evolving concept could be evaluated against budget and construction timeframes.

A modularised, prefabrication method was deemed the quickest and most cost-effective option for producing the quality of finish required. Construction documentation was quickly generated from our concept modelling and sent to the off-site fabricators.

The project was delivered on time and budget while exceeding our clients expectations.

Foreshore Cafe Feasibility Study

SCOPE

OUTCOMES

Both Landscape Architectural and Architectural consultancy services were provided for design of a foreshore redevelopment and cafe on the Swan River.

EE’KOS addressed issues of pollutants entering the river from road and carpark runoffs by creating a ‘Living Stream’; a water treatment train that runs through the site. It is our green infrastructure that acts to clean the water captured from the parking surfaces, paving, and existing and new buildings.

The concept integrates a number of ‘moments’ that people are afforded the ability to interact with the water at various levels of physical connection according to the quality of the water. Such moments include the viewing platform, boardwalk, and the café itself.

At the heart of the concept is the desire to create a space which nurtures the social, cultural and commercial expression of the community, while facilitating for new, high volume pedestrian traffic across the railline from the future mixed-use development to the north.

With its proximity to major transport links there exists a fantastic opportunity to make the space a vibrant, highly programmed highly visible space that puts the town on show and provides a unique gateway to the area.

In developing the space as a pedestrian zone EE’KOS explored various ways of limiting access for vehicles, influencing driver behaviour and isolating the space at times to make allow for community events and markets.

This will be reinforced by selecting finishes that provide a clean and crisp backdrop for warmer ‘earthy and natural’ features while still allowing the occupants the potential to put their own personal stamp on their new home. In addition, we acknowledge that our target
