ARUP Cairns Office Fitout

Cairns, Far North Queensland

The Cairns Arup office fitout is a pioneering project designed in accordance with the principles of the Living Building Challenge, incorporating biophilia, collaboration, and indigenous art to create a truly sustainable and inspiring workspace.

Biophilia is at the heart of the design, integrating elements that connect occupants with nature. This includes extensive use of natural light, indoor plants, and materials sourced from local, sustainable origins. The design emphasises views of the surrounding landscape, fostering a sense of well-being and a connection to the environment.

Collaboration is facilitated through an open and flexible layout that encourages interaction and teamwork. The workspace features communal areas, adaptable workstations, and meeting rooms that can be easily reconfigured to suit various needs.

These spaces are designed to support a culture of innovation and collective problem-solving, essential to Arup’s ethos. Indigenous art plays a pivotal role in the design, with thoughtfully curated pieces that celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the region. These artworks not only add aesthetic value but also foster a sense of identity and belonging among employees.

By weaving together biophilia and the idea of collaboration, the new workspace is both innovative and deeply connected to its cultural and natural context whilst supporting the holistic needs of
