In collaboration with Harry Seidler & Associates and Melhem Design Studio, WMK has orchestrated a visionary transformation of the lobby of 9 Castlereagh St for Charter Hall with the building set to become one of Sydney’s premier office destinations. Serving as a nexus of connection for tenants and visitors, the design will elevate the modern workplace experience as it embraces its open air atmosphere, offering abundant natural light, lush greenery, a new café, bar and an expansive dining area.

The café and bar experience will be delivered by The Grounds, known for creating one of Sydney’s most beloved and social media’s most famous cafés. WMK’s design integrates indoor and outdoor dining, which will be defined by its illuminated curved architectural detail that extends through the lobby. Complementing the existing granite stone, and the original mosaic mural by Lin Utzon, the new rich colours and soft furnishings of The Grounds fitout adds warmth and vibrancy.

Construction by McCormack is underway and expected to be completed end 2024.
