Cranbrook School aspired to convert the Perkins Building into a dedicated world-class Music Facility. To bring this vision to life, the school engaged TCW to procure loose furniture and specialty joinery units for administration areas and teaching spaces within the building. The client’s brief was clear – to provide highly functional and durable furniture solutions that offered flexibility and contemporary aesthetics.

TCW recognised the importance of intelligently designed furniture that would meet the functional and aspirational needs of the students and teaching staff. The key furniture solutions provided by TCW that contributed to the success of this project include:

Talent Tables by Actiu
Acti Chairs
Wenger Music Chairs
Vision Workstations
To-Sync Chairs by Dauphin
Learnfit Mobile Desks by Ergotron

The transformation of the Perkins Building at Cranbrook School into a world-class Music Facility has left a lasting impression on the school community at Cranbrook. Working directly with the facilities team at Cranbrook allowed TCW to provide the optimal turn-key furniture solutions that exactly fitted the needs of the students and teaching staff.

SKY PARK – SYDNEY FC

In September 2023, Sydney FC proudly unveiled its remarkable $30 million football and community precinct, Sky Park. This state-of-the-art Centre of Excellence is poised to redefine the club’s identity, serving as a central hub for professional football teams, the youth Academy, dedicated coaching staff, and essential administrative personnel. The inauguration of Sky Park also marked a historic moment for women’s football in Australia, introducing dedicated facilities to nurture the most promising young female footballers, thus paving the way for Sydney FC’s A-League Women’s squad.

The collaboration between Sydney FC and Macquarie University was instrumental in the success of Sky Park. This partnership was founded on a shared commitment to fostering community engagement, education, and grassroots football. Sydney FC Chairman Scott Barlow was actively involved in the project and spoke with excitement at the opening, “Sky Park is finally here. It is a world-class facility that we have been working on for many years. It brings together our entire club under one roof for the first time. We now have a home, in Sky Park, to be very proud of.”

From the ergonomic To-Sync task chairs by Dauphin to the versatile Noom 50 breakout chairs with removable writing tables by Actiu and stackable Noom 50 chairs, equipped with trolleys for mobility, every piece contributes to this dynamic facility. The Noom 30 upholstered chairs by Actiu, Little Perillo chairs by Zuco, and Noom 40 stools by Actiu add elegance and comfort to various areas, while the contemporary Rhythm Chair offers flexibility.

Westfund Customer care Centres Rollout

Written by Carla TCW on March 22, 2023. Posted in Health, News, Our Work, Projects, Showcase, Workplace.

WESTFUND CUSTOMER CARE CENTRES ROLLOUT

Design Firm : Danks Design Group

Westfund has been caring for Australians for over 140 years with its origins in the provision of health cover to the mining community in western NSW. Throughout this time, Westfund’s focus on health and wellbeing and connection within our communities has seen their greater expansion into regional areas in both NSW and Queensland. TCW has been working with Westfund and Danks Design Group on the rollout of customer care branches over multiple sites, to coincide with their brand evolution which is as much a celebration of the history of Westfund and their focus towards the future.

Book A:

The projects, located in regional centres, form a central strategy for Westfund in their establishment of accessible and member focused facilities for both senior members of the community and the growing number of people relocating from city centres since the pandemic.

The guiding principles of the design reflect the notion of a welcoming and comfortable space with well-being, sustainability and technology considered throughout. The brand identity’s circular language is woven through the spaces providing a reference to the holistic nature of Westfund and its cohesive and community focused philosophy.

TCW’s ability to supply furniture solutions nationally enabled consistency and certainty in all locations. Sit-to-stand desks are teamed with adjustable monitor arms to deliver workstations that enhance productivity, ergonomics and well-being. The dynamic and affordable To-sync chairs combine clever design with functionality with synchronised movements and total adjustability. Noom Chairs provide comfort for visitors with their friendly and elegant designs, which promote communication and relaxation and the graceful Little Perillo chairs make a stylish impression. Meeting spaces are informal and flexible and lounge areas are designed to enhance the warmth and welcoming atmosphere. Sustainability initiatives include the selection of energy-efficient lighting and services and carbon-neutral floor coverings made in part from recovered and recycled fishing nets.

The rollout of customer care branches for Westfund has delivered on its promise to create welcoming and beautifully designed facilities that are focused on providing an excellent workplace for its staff and memorable experiences for its members. The projects are a direct reflection of Westfund’s process which is founded on collaboration, innovation and engagement.

Chau Chak Wing Museum

Design Firm : Johnson Pilton Walker

Builder : FDC

TCW have been providing furniture solutions throughout The University of Sydney for nearly a decade including the Chau Chak Wing Museum which was designed to share USYD’s vast collections of antiques with the wider community. The collections began in 1860 and have continued to grow showcasing significant artistic, scientific and archaeological artefacts.

From ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt, to the art of First Nations people, and the works of leading contemporary artists, the Chau Chak Wing Museum is a centre of cultural and artistic excellence and was completed to the Gold Level Standard of the University’s Sustainability Framework model, equivalent to the GBCA’s Greenstar rating. TCW assisted FDC and the Architect to provide a unique customised seating solution for the Museum’s welcome area which receives visitors on route to view the collections which contain over 30,000 artifacts.

On the impact of the museum, donor Dr Chau Chak states, “It is my sincere hope that the Chau Chak Wing Museum not only directly benefits Sydney’s cultural landscape and emerging generations who seek knowledge, but also indirectly encourages others to contribute meaningfully to the enrichment of Australia’s arts and culture.”

HUDSON

Architect/Interior Designer: IA Group

Builder: Client Based Solutions

The new workspace for Hudson in Brisbane was designed to capture their desired Scandinavian aesthetic and flexible workplace practices. The direction was to create an open and inviting space that blurred the lines between front and back of house spaces. The Buttercup Lounge by Luxmy provides a welcoming seating area with its subtle angles that delicately contrast its robust form. The ensemble is complimented perfectly by the Noom 10 armchair by ACTIU. Informal meeting areas were created with Pablo Chairs coupled with the distinctive Cheese on Toast table, both by Luxmy. In the kitchen area, Noom stools provide seating for gathering and collaboration.
