The Brief.

McGrathNicol appointed PCG to assist with pre-lease due diligence of two shortlisted leasehold property options, provide input into their commercial lease terms and provide an integrated interior design and project management service for their new workplace within the newly refurbished 20 Martin Place.

The Strategy.

The initial focus was upon conducting strategic workplace briefing workshops with the senior leadership team and key stakeholders. This process involved challenging current work paradigms and envisioning a new work environment to enable the aspirations of the team and complement the brand of McGrathNicol.

The Result.

The Brief.

Having had considerable organic and acquisitive growth in personnel over 10 years, Pfizer Australia needed a strategy to unlock additional accommodation within their existing workplace without compromising the standard.

The Strategy.

PCG and Pfizer Australia concluded the most appropriate strategy was to extract all facilities associated with meetings and training and create a dedicated facility enabling the reallocation of space within the existing workplace back to office accommodation.

The Result.

The project resulted in the creation of a two level 3,500m² special purpose learning and conference facility, comprising a 133-seat lecture theatre, fixed and flexible training rooms, 165 seat dining area, full commercial kitchen and external break out space comprising BBQ areas and tennis courts.

After Breitling’s retail boutique received a demolition notice they used it as an opportunity to consolidate their corporate office, service centre and retail boutique under one location.

The Result.

Split across five separate levels; the result is a stunning boutique with mezzanine bar, corporate headquarters, service centre and associated support facilities designed to Breitling’s global standards.

The Brief.

PCG’s brief was simple: the building’s interior and workplace, still laid out generally as per the original 19th century design, was to be brought into the 21st century whilst restoring and preserving all architectural design features identified as being of heritage importance.

The Strategy.

PCG’s scope included the erection of a steel supported glass structure over the courtyard; installation of a new passenger lift; upgrade of mechanical, electrical, data, hydraulic and fire services; removal of non-original fixtures and fittings and the restoration of the “Clerestory” roof, floor lights and all existing original building fabric.

The Result.

Washington H. Soul Pattinson & Co. was restored with some much-needed modern touches. PCG also designed and implemented a system of free standing “service sills” which ran around the perimeter of the building hiding all electrical, data, mechanical and associated water services.
