Dexus Place, 80 Collins Street Spec Suites – Melbourne

To support Dexus’ large portfolio across Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane, the Dexus Place offering provides customers access to flexible amenities to enhance their workplace experience. Whether space is needed for a day or a tenure of months, Dexus Place can morph to meet those needs while providing an inspiring environment where businesses can thrive. Warren and Mahoney (W+M) worked closely with Dexus to define the brief, workplace strategy and outcomes that would create the ultimate post-Covid flexible working space. The Alter Ego became a planning approach. It was about making the most of the building’s attributes – an 80s structure in one of the most sought-after addresses – and seizing those and flipping them around to make a memorable sequence of spaces that would leave an impact. Warren and Mahoney’s central belief in workplace design is to approach a project with equal parts emotional intelligence and logical data driven intelligence.
