ANZ Centre, Melbourne

No. 37, February/March 2011
pp. 94-97
French design and travel magazine, Artravel, featured ANZ Centre in the February/March 2011 issue.
Discussing the issue of workplaces in the article, author Vicky Chahine notes that design should not be just a question of aesthetics, but take into consideration of productivity, creativity and social interaction. The task of housing 6,500 employees in one single building was addressed by HASSELL by creating an urban campus, complete with streets, meeting points and relaxation spaces.
The result is a workplace that offers a sense of community and the ability for informal interaction between employees; a building that sits in and is connected to its environment.
