Central Park Tower by Woods Bagot

In this vast lobby refurbishment, Woods Bagot has revitalized the previously disconnected and outdated ground-floor plane of Central Park Tower in Perth. Supplanting the aged austerity of the original space, the refurbishment brings lightness and elegance to the lobby experience while respecting the base building architecture. The key drivers of the design were to reinforce the sense of community and enhance visual connection to the surrounding park landscape. The design team pushed the boundaries of what a commercial lobby can be, introducing vibrant social spaces, bookable business and meeting pods, and open business lounges. The refurbishment includes gallery and function space, new washrooms, lift-car interiors, new northern, created specifically for the cafe. The new lobby is a modern, inviting space for tenants and visitors to conduct business in a vibrant part of the city centre.
