Inbox Workspace 2.0
The Inbox on 3 fitout is the second co-working space designed, following the success of Inbox on 2, on the level below. With a desire to create a highend workspace , Guymer Bailey Interiors was engaged to create a luxurious work experience that mastered the balance between opportunities for interaction and retreat for high-concentration work.
Following the concept of transition from shelter to exposure, a metaphor for navigating vegetation, sand dunes and the water’s edge, ocean views are gradually revealed as you navigate through the workspace and move from glazed private offices to semi-enclosed feature pods and then open edge workspaces. The space also includes a kitchenette that guards against the harsh western sun, shower room, outdoor deck and BBQ area, and putt-putt green.
The material pallet selected was minimal and predominantly dark to provide a sense of depth and opulence. Navy and black with accents of rich copper and gold trims, smoky mirrors and brilliant teal were chosen to allow the ocean view to take a starring role. The inclusion of indoor plants throughout the fitout together with the full height green entry wall is a central sustainable feature that increases amenity and creates a healthy and productive workplace by improving air quality.
Stage A works included the refurbishment and extension of an existing two-storey classroom block as well as the construction of a new covered walkway through the centre of the school.

PRINCIPLES OF PASSION
During the design process, our project team not only considers the physical context of the designs but also examines the social and cultural context. Through every design, we look for ways to inspire positive attitudes, behaviours and emotional responses in people to encourage the responsible use of resources, increase cooperation among occupants, and communicate the values of society and cultural diversity.
