Australian Retirement Trust Workplace

Australian Retirement Trust welcome you into the heart of their new workplace.

Anchored by an auditorium and located in the centre of the workplace stack, the central HUB is a landscaped community space, the Heart of ART. The space blurs the boundaries of inside and out in its sub-tropical environment. Naturally ventilated through automated louvres, brick flooring and landscaped seating the central hub emerges as a park-scape in the sky.

The central HUB enables ART to open their workplace to collaborate with local organisations, non-profits, and educational institutions to host events that promote inclusivity, diversity, and sustainable practices. Through these community and industry engagement spaces, ART demonstrate their commitment to making a positive impact beyond the workplace.

First Nations engagement in the design evolution encouraged a central gathering space known as the yarning circle. It provides a space for ART and their community to engage in open, honest communication, valuing diverse voices and perspectives. The yarning circle is fringed with abundant planting and nestled under a suspended planted canopy, creating a place for intimate conversation.

In this workplace, the unique vision of ART emerges, reflecting the values of an organisation that is future focussed and committed to being a force for good.
