Project name: Assemble Office.
Location: Melbourne, Australia.
Design Team: Assemble – Quino Holland, Giuseppe Demaio and Ben Keck.
Construction: Local Spaces – Wes Old, Mark Coules, Lachlan Chapman and Maxi Walker

The existing office of Melbourne-based Assemble studio was largely open and made of concrete, leading to terrible acoustics and ample echoing. To combat this issue Assemble’s designers created their own riveted installation; it covers pipes, ductwork, smoke detectors, fire alarms, an air conditioning system and a labyrinth of “other ugly services” beneath it.

“Our aim was to create a low cost, flexible workspace that would be an inspiring home for our varied creative projects,” says Giuseppe Demaio, director of Assemble. “As a design-obsessed organisation, we felt our own studio was the perfect opportunity to showcase for our design sensibility and skills.”

The timber installation was constructed by Localspaces and was made of sustainably-harvested plantation pine with minimal waste. Battens measuring 45-by-90mm and 20-by-40mm interlink to form the mirrored triangular structure. 10 points from us.
