BVNs new workspace
BVN has moved to level 4, 12 Creek Street, Brisbane where they have reconfigured a 1980s tower floor with a composition of fixed platforms, benches, and movable furniture to create a contemporary workspace.
The mix of uses and space types is ‘ordered’ by various window treatments – in some areas they are transformed into generous window seats, in others they are workbenches with river views and in one case they contain an expansive “chill-out” lounge.
According to Mr Brian Donovan, Principal, BVN Donovan Hill, the design “will maximise participation and interactions both within the Studio as well as with clients and community.”
To promote an experimental ‘architectural workshop’ environment, robust and untreated materials of concrete and marmoleum have been selected. According to Mr Donovan, “Even the work stations are covered in marmoleum an unusual use of what is normally considered a flooring material, but one that extends the theme of workplaces being a functional and benign background to the work of the practice”.
