A workplace that earns its address.
The brief for this Salamanca fitout was straightforward: a professional workspace for a private client in one of Hobart's most characterful precincts. What the space asked for in return was an interior that felt connected to its surroundings — not a sealed, generic office dropped into a heritage streetscape, but something that belonged to it.
Tasmanian oak features throughout, adding warmth and acknowledging the craft traditions of the building's context. The material palette — timber, soft naturals, botanical greens — draws from the landscape immediately outside rather than from an interior design catalogue.
Different work needs different spaces.
The fitout is organised around how people actually work — which is rarely in one mode for an entire day. Spaces for focused, independent work sit alongside areas designed for conversation and shared thinking. The distinction between them is made through lighting, materiality and the arrangement of furniture rather than through walls and doors.
Soft furnishings and considered lighting give each zone its own character without making the overall space feel fragmented. It is an office that takes its cues from the way good domestic spaces work — varied, comfortable and easy to move through — while remaining entirely professional in its finish.
