Designing with Country sits at the heart of the @citcanberra Woden campus. Through ongoing collaboration and meaningful dialogue, the project explores how architecture can reflect connection to place.
The façade tells a story of Country, moving through earth, river valley, bush, mountain and sky, culminating in an oculus that carries the shadow of the wedge-tailed eagle, an important totem for Aboriginal peoples in the Canberra region and beyond.
Co-Founder and CEO of @yerrabingin, Christian Hampson, joins ACT Lead Partner Amanda Fyfe to share how listening to Country shaped the design and spirit of this landmark campus.

Designing façades is about more than performance it is about how buildings are seen felt and experienced over time.
At ZAK World of Façades Melbourne 2026 @zakwof, our Senior Associate John Czechowski presented Design for Perception, reflecting on how colour materiality reflection environmental context and technical constraints shape human perception. Through projects including Central Park Tower Perth and CIT Woden Campus, the session explored how thoughtful façade design can inspire delight and encourage people to notice the extraordinary world we inhabit.
We are grateful to our collaborators and project partners for their shared commitment to meaningful enduring design.

At Schroders, global workplace principles are reimagined through a design that feels distinctly connected to Sydney and the people who work there.
Designed in close partnership with Schroders’ global and local teams, the workplace balances international consistency with a strong local identity. Through workshops and collaboration, we shaped a flexible environment that supports how people meet, work and connect.
A key feature is the adaptable social and client space, where meeting rooms can open into the kitchen and hub for town halls, events and everyday gatherings . Sustainability is built into the design through practical choices such as repurposed furniture, low‑VOC materials and energy‑efficient lighting, creating a high‑performing workplace that supports culture, wellbeing and long‑term value.

Architecture has always told the story of humanity, reflecting our creativity, culture and shared spirit. Today, a new chapter is emerging as buildings are increasingly designed to serve machines rather than people. The rise of data centres and AI driven infrastructure invites an important question about purpose.
Are we truly designing for human communities, or redefining architecture around artificial intelligence? This moment calls for reflection on the future of design and its responsibility to humanity.

Tenants want shorter leases with access to space beyond their leased area. Gray Puksand designed Australia Square as the leading template of how that looks, and how it stacks up financially.
Occupants of the fully occupied (and waitlisted) secure micro suites for 6-18 people can also enjoy a large high end informal meeting area, workshop space, boardrooms and podcast rooms. While small low maintenance leases are great for the bottom line, at Australia Square they are also great for social interaction, where staff become part of a community of professionals outside their own tenancy.
Small firms can now attract high calibre staff by providing a workplace that is convenient, impressive and interactive.

Gray Puksand’s modern classic transformation of 114 William Street, formerly ‘Estates House’, reimagined the building’s ground floor while honouring its modernist heritage. Our scope delivered a new facade, revitalised lobby, new café and business lounge, and an activated laneway and plaza to elevate a sense of place. A new End of Trip facilities with a dedicated entry supports wellbeing and active commuting.
Inspired by and honoring Yuncken Freeman’s vision, our design reinforces the original grid, politi expression and street presence, cementing this icon’s place in Melbourne’s Marvellous Modernism, as recognised by the National Trust.
