Jebsens Adaptive Reuse

Location: Bentley, WA

Client: Curtin University

Year: 2022

Serendipity is defined as ‘the fact of finding interesting or valuable things by chance’, and was the driving force behind this project. This concept derived from Curtin university’s emphasis on wanting to create collaboration between disciplines and a studio style workingenvironment. This design includes a multitude of social-petal arrangements that encourage collaboration and engagement between people. Likewise, the floor plan generates moments where linear pathways are disrupted to encourage chance encounters. Transparent materiality aims to further this interaction through the space, allowing occupants to spot each other through the materiality and encourage engagement. Solid walls and barriers have been omitted as much as possible to prevent unnecessary separation and isolation between occupants. Overall, this design hopes to spark ideas and creations that may not have occurred without the experience of serendipity.

Clay is a skincare and cosmetic brand who believe that real beauty is gentle on the earth and its people alike. This means focusing on ethical, sustainable, and vegan products that derive from natural and honest ingredients. Clay’s philosophies are what drove our concept for the stores design, which is that outer beauty starts with real and natural elements. Consequently, this design pays homage to Australia’s natural landscape and its elements, comprising organic forms, natural colours and locally sourced materials.
