Arup:
Arup’s new
Melbourne and
Sydney ‘homes’ – in Australia’s latest A-Grade CBD commercial
buildings – exemplify a people-first approach to innovative
workplaces.
Located in One
Melbourne Quarter and
Barrack Place
Sydney, they are the result of detailed planning by designers
HASSELL
working with Arup. Both buildings were officially opened on 11 October
2018.
“We have optimised the total design to create places where we can do
great work together, and welcome our clients and collaborators to work
alongside us. The offices directly reflect our values as well as our
current and future working needs. In every sense, they embody and
reflect Arup’s emphasis on quality, sustainability, versatility,
collaboration and creativity. Collaboration is key to our philosophy and
as such our workplaces are open and connected. ”
The offices have experimental places such as sound and light labs, as
well as a variety of spaces which can be adapted to the task at hand,
from design thinking and exploration workshops to virtual reality
experimental labs.

Arup has been agile working for many years and has optimised both
workplaces based on these experiences. However, there are also dedicated
quiet places for research, focus and reflection.
Both buildings are 6 Star
Green Star rated, use 100% renewable power and
are targeting high star NABERS ratings for energy and water.
Arup also provided all engineering services for
Lendlease’s One
Melbourne Quarter and
Investa’s Barrack Place.
The buildings presented different challenges and opportunities. One
Melbourne Quarter is part of a new city precinct with its own Sky Park
extending over a busy arterial road while Barrack Place is in a
warehouse heritage district in the heart of the Sydney CBD.
“These have been unique and exciting opportunities – we are extremely
proud to have delivered exemplar buildings which house such
market-leading workplaces.”
