Did you know 90% of our lives are lived inside*?
Shocking, isn’t it? But true, nonetheless. Between work, school, and home, most of our lives are spent indoors.
Put another way, us humans spend more time inside buildings than some whale species spend underwater (credit goes to Rich Corsi, the Dean of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University for that insight).
When you consider this and how much impact our physical environment can affect our happiness, productivity, and wellbeing, you soon understand the importance of purposeful interior design.

Greener, Better, more inclusive interiors
Physical environments directly affect our happiness, productivity, and wellbeing. At GB-Interiors we design interior spaces that respond to user needs, designing sustainable spaces that inspire creativity, increase efficiency, encourage learning, create calm and foster rehabilitation.
With the ability to work collaboratively or independently with GB-Architects and GB-Landscape, we take a holistic and integrated approach to interior design, creating complete design resolution from inside to outside for a greater project outcome.

Bringing interiors to life and life to interiors
Through every project our interiors team prioritises:
On brand design that makes an impact
Understanding that first impressions count we create a strong presence to attract customers or community engagement. We ensure strong branding and placemaking and work hard to create a continual flow from the outside in.
Clever planning to maintain operations
Understanding that some works need to be done while commercial, education, justice, corrections, and tourism environments remain operational, we conduct careful planning to minimise disruption renovations and extensions.
Flexibility to cater to future changes
We prioritise future flexibility by challenging traditional layouts to create spaces that adapt to different needs and can be used with maximum efficiency and minimum disruption even if the industry or tenancy changes.
Sustainable design initiatives
To decrease operational costs and minimise environmental impact, we utilise sustainable initiatives like natural light, ventilation, and energy-efficient building services.
Smart and durable material choices
To ensure low building maintenance we carefully select durable, hardwearing building materials and finishes considering full lifecycle costs of the project.
Ensure inclusivity and accessibility
Committed to inclusive design and providing accessibility for all staff, customers, and members of the community, we meticulously comply with the Disability Discrimination Act.
Providing sustainable solutions
With a passion for sustainability and healthy buildings, we optimise the contextual site analysis and design for flexibility, evolution, and design for adaptability in this rapidly changing world we now live in. While we select materials for their timelessness, brand identity and positive sensory impact, we are also mindful to opt for durable alternatives with low emissions and low embodied energy, as well as recycled and reusable items where possible.
Equipped with a highly experienced Green Star Accredited Professional interior designer, we are able to bring a wealth of sustainable design knowledge and practice to your office space, retail outlet, warehouse, government department or community projects. We can help you meet your sustainability and social goals with clear and measurable deliverables, creating responsible project outcomes that reduce materials and upfront embodied carbon and waste, are healthy, resilient, adaptable, efficient, connected to nature and inclusive with long lifespan and enjoyable places to be.
DESIGNING HEALTHY INTERIORS
There is a growing focus on creating healthy interiors, and for good reason too. With 90% of our time spent inside, the quality of the air you breathe and environment you live, work, and play in is critical to our health and wellbeing. Designing with this in mind, GB-Interiors incorporate several healthy initiatives throughout our projects. These include biophilic design (connection with nature), salutogenic design (minimising stress), noise reduction, healthy material selection, ergonomic design, natural lighting and ventilation, and ease of maintenance.
CREATING PRODUCTIVE COMMERCIAL INTERIORS
Dedicated to designing commercial interiors that tenants, employees, and the wider community can take pride in, GB-Interiors creates commercial interior design that achieves maximum yields for owners and tenants, productive environments for workers and welcoming spaces for clients and the community.
With extensive experience in dealing with complex sites, busy streetscapes, and branded interior design, we identify and overcome design challenges quickly and efficiently to ensure projects are delivered on time and budget.
