The Maitland Workplace Hub consolidates multiple government agencies into one workplace. Our interior design response draws on the rich history of the Maitland High Street with its well-preserved historic buildings.
Property Development NSW workplace guidelines have been applied to the design of the new Hub and a local flavour has been woven throughout the details of the design. The project involves a two level workplace fit out, which consists of agile working environments, shared collaboration spaces and community areas.
We carefully considered each of the three occupying agencies – the Department of Regional NSW, Department of Customer Service and Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure – in the planning and design as they each have specialist functions pertinent to the preservation and restoration of the Hunter Region. The design allows for a dynamic workspace accommodating built in flexibility for future ways of working as well as specialist spaces including a records library and artefact display space.
The project endeavours to uplift both the building and the workspace to position this asset as a destination for government employees within the region.
