Charter Hall is one of Australia’s leading property groups who own and

manage 276 commercial properties around Australia including office

buildings, retail centers, and industrial assets. State 28 were recently

engaged to upgrade the lobby of one of their Perth tenancies, Eastpoint

Plaza, located on Adelaide Terrace.

The brief required our team to work with the existing granite flooring and

take advantage of the generous volume and height evident in the entry

hall. The clients wanted to achieve a gallery-like feel within the lobby that

would evoke elegance and a contemporary welcome for visitors and workers

circulating through the building.

State 28 have used a sophisticated furniture palette to ground the scheme,

inserting playful installations such as the iconic fabric ‘Clouds’ and

‘Nanimarquina’ floor rug to add visual interest and points of focus. The

pendant lighting and gold planters finish the space with luxurious flair,

emphasising the beautiful volume and bountiful light inherent within the

interior space.

Country Wide Insurance Brokers is a general insurance brokerage with a

network of branches throughout Western Australia. The relocation to their

new premises in Cloverdale offered the opportunity to bring two divisions

together into one considered workspace.

STATE28 were engaged to design and develop an office space that addressed

their requirements to create an engaging open plan environment without

compromising the need for privacy and offices. With an expansive wall of

windows, the layout took advantage of as much natural light as possible to

energise the space.

Instead of a traditional reception STATE28 designed a feature wall that guides

clients to the management side of the tenancy or the open plan for branch

members and providers to meet and conduct training. The warm textures

coupled with bold mirrors create a desirable interior entrance.

Altegra are a commercial real estate company operating out of the Perth

CBD with a strong focus on client relationships and service. State 28 were

engaged to design a complete fit out for the company’s new office. The

relocation was in line with their rebrand therefore presenting the perfect

opportunity to define Altegra within the commercial property market.

In addition to representing Altegra’s brand identity, State 28 also needed to

address the way in which employees worked with each other within the office.

The resulting interior provides a systemised and efficient layout to facilitate

both solitary work and collaboration both within the open plan office and

adjoining meeting and boardrooms. The chosen palette in the workspaces

provides a gentle mix of both warm and cool elements, and subtly introduces

the company’s corporate colours. The joinery in the reception area reflects

the dynamic and contemporary business that Altegra is, creating a powerful

first impression to visitors of the space. Altegra’s new office is a carefully

considered and effective space in which the team can propel their new brand

now and into the future.

Subsea 7 is an oil and gas company who perform complete subsea field

developments. They provide design, engineering, construction, installation

and facilities maintenance for the subsea production of oil and gas. Located

on St Georges Terrace in Perth’s CBD, Subsea 7 engaged us to redesign

their reception and tendering areas on level 11. In response to their brief,

our aim was to engage the subsea environment throughout the interior. The

colour palette is indicative of the companies existing corporate colours that

are illuminated in the signage and carried throughout the fit out.

The reception is designed to be an open, welcoming space, identifying

Subsea 7 as a company. Through materiality and texture, the space features

finishes and elements reminiscent of subsea; the wall tiles imitate the

waves of the ocean and the gloss finish quartz carpet reflects the ocean bed.

This sand like surface aligns next to a warm timber-flooring axis through the

building. Moving through the tenancy are the private offices, workspaces,

and meeting room. It was important these spaces weren’t isolated from the

rest of the spaces though they were still required to be secure. To achieve

this, we created an open plan layout wrapped in wave frosting design. The

translucent materiality gives the workspaces security and acoustic privacy,

while still being interactive and connected to the exterior spaces.

JWT are a world-class advertising agency that pioneered the communications

business. They are a company who think ahead, know how to communicate

effectively, and deliver brand response & business results. These company

attitudes are why they are entrusted to create ideas for some of the worlds

leading brands. The company has recently opened an office in Perth with a

prime location on Wolf Lane in the CBD. State 28 was engaged to create a

space that portrays their outgoing and professional company philosophies.

The interior canvas featured timber floorboards, old brickwork, an exposed

truss ceiling with bright splashes of yellow – it was already a beautiful, but

vacant space.

Our works in the space are quirky and bold. We reupholstered an old lounge

with bright flamingo and velvet fabric, which sits next to a yellow-framed

timber coffee table and bright textural ottomans. It was intended that the

new kitchen would potentially cater for small gatherings, and therefore was

important to incorporate it within the foyer as a breakout space. The tenancy

features a grass-like runway from the entrance, through the workspaces,

leading you to the unique boardroom. Here we created an original carpet

design that incorporated JWT’s company colours framed with a fluoro pink

skirting trim.

BHP Billiton is a leading global resources company. Their goal is to create

long-term shareholder value through the discovery, acquisition, development

and marketing of natural resources. State 28 was engaged to create five

hand knotted rugs for the foyer area of Brookfield Place that were unique in

their designs and creations. They reflect the philosophy and values of BHP

Billiton.

The rugs are woven to express the life and environment, using colours and

textures found here in Western Australia and those that represent BHP

Billiton. This bespoke work of fine art has been created with natural dyes

and hand weaving evoking an emotional response from the peripatetic

pedestrian experience. Each rug has been custom made to fine detail; the

design and weave are unbalanced and have no repeat. No two rugs are

identical knot for knot; the artisan’s touch created fine art that draws you

into the complexities of the design. The hand knotted rugs are not only

beautiful but also extremely durable as the natural dyes and hand spun wool

used is unusually hard wearing.

The outcome is unseen anywhere else, and represent the global resource

company that BHP Billiton are, highlighting their values and culture.
