Project: Adina Hotel Fitout, Coburg

Designer: Konzepte; Chada Interiors

The fitout involved the design and construction of the hotel’s public areas including reception and lobby, Level 1 conference rooms and pre-function space, while also completing fitout works in the existing prison facilities in Division B’s chapel, atrium lobby, Cell Bar, Annex Restaurant and Outdoor Dining and the ground and first floor amenities. This project was part of the overall Pentridge Adina Hotel and Apartments project and is a part of the historic H.M. Pentridge Prison — founded in 1851 and closed in 1997. It is recognised by the National Trust as a place of state significance and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register as “the most well-known and used gaol in the state’s history”. Original elements from the site were incorporated in the design and construction, including the existing bluestone interior walls.

SHAPE were trusted by BHP to deliver their Melbourne Office Consolidation at 171 Collins Street. The aim of the project was to better accommodate the reduced office floor space requirements of their staff due to changes in work patterns and maximise the office design in line with their ‘Future Ways of Working’ principles. The project was completed in two stages, across five floors. Firstly, the refurbishment of the BHP Business Centre which involved the rejuvenation of meeting rooms, café and event spaces to better support BHP operations for both internal and external users. Secondly, the delivery of work areas across Level 16 to 18, which prioritised how BHP employees work. This involved the creation of open workspaces and flexible zones to promote collaborative and concentrated work for BHP executives and their team.
