Designing our new Melbourne studio at 565 Bourke Street was an artistic journey driven by the freedom of being our own client.
“Because we were our own client, we had a really great brief right from the start,” shared Project Leads Dale and Lauren. “We just rolled out a piece of trace and wrote down all of our ideas ... that were inspiring us for our new studio.”
The core focus was on people and culture, translating the essence of Gray Puksand into a physical environment that enhances what we do as architects and designers.

Drawing on knowledge gained through collaboration with Wurundjeri elders, `The Life Force of Water` design narrative at @medibank`s new Melbourne hub reflects the essence of the surrounding environment and significant cultural landmarks.
Medibank arranged for the consultant team to undertake a cultural walk with Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Elder Uncle Dave Wandin at Coranderrk Station.
Inspired by the journey of Birrarung (Yarra River) through Wurundjeri land, the staircase, materials, finishes and fixtures represent the journey from Baw Baw (the mountain) to Naarm (Port Phillip Bay), taking employees and visitors on an exploration of Victoria’s diverse native terrain.

@theroyalwomens Hospital in Melbourne engaged Gray Puksand to deliver significant updates to its existing birthing facilities and services. The new design prioritises the mother’s journey, emphasising safe, comfortable, and empowering birthing environments.
Key interventions focus on flexibility and personalisation, allowing women to tailor their surroundings with adjustable options for sound, lighting, and privacy to suit their preferences.
Clinical aesthetics were softened through thoughtful joinery, warm material palettes, and biophilic design principles, introducing natural light and connections to nature for a calming atmosphere.

Our recently completed project at 469 + 485 La Trobe Street has delivered a precinct-based addition to the public realm, improving connectivity between the two buildings and providing direct access to the park beyond.
The design`s central theme was to "bring the park inside", allowing the dense greenery of the nearby Flagstaff Gardens to influence the interior experience through seamless transitions between spaces, biophilic design elements and enhanced natural lighting.
The welcoming lobby encourages tenants to dwell rather than simply pass through, supported by a diverse range of spaces to meet, wait and work.
