Defence Housing Australia (DHA) approached RPA Architects back in 2013 to refurbish the existing office and call centre. The brief was to create a space that encourages employees to enjoy being at work whilst recognising where the office was located within the world, tropical North Queensland. The general office space and call centre had to be separate but still contained in the existing open plan office space. The green wall and timber battening was used to tie the office to the tropical North Queensland links whilst dividing the office as briefed. There are alcoves off the open office space for informal meetings with staff. These alcoves are lined with acoustic fabric to help balance the sound of the large space. The amenities and staff room including kitchen were refurbished as part of this project.
