TasPorts Gasworks Office

Launceston, Tasmania 2018

A conversion to centralisation.

This project involved the interior conversion of the Launceston Gasworks Horizontal Retort Building into a new centralised statewide operations centre for TasPorts.

The former Gasworks site, first erected in 1860, was the principal supplier of gas to the City of Launceston before the importation of LPG in the 1970s. Understanding the historical significance of the site, the new interior works were designed to tread lightly within the existing heritage fabric.

Natural Light.

Close attention has been paid to the building’s industrial past, with high ceilings, giant timber trusses and exposed brick finishes adding further context within this contemporary office environment.

Natural light, planters and blonde timbers bring life to the solid original structure, facilitating a productive, active place of work.

This bright, open office space features exposed dark wood trusses and an industrial ceiling with visible metal ductwork and skylights. Modern workstations are partially enclosed by white half-walls topped with light wood lattice shelving and small potted plants.
This bright waiting area features a black leather-cushioned bench with a wooden frame set against a clean white wall. A tall arched window provides a view of the outdoors, while the industrial ceiling includes exposed wooden beams and a metal ventilation duct. This long office corridor showcases a textured wall of original exposed brick and heavy timber beams illuminated by spotlights. A row of dark lockers and grey patterned carpet tiles lead the eye toward a bright window at the far end.

The hallway is finished with grey patterned carpet and cylindrical white ceiling lights, leading toward an open doorway at the far end.
