Visualisation and animation studio Squint/Opera render reality every day.
The fit-out for their new Australian headquarters reinforces this trait: physical space and its digital doppelganger confluence in the workplace.
The new office uses the wireframe space of modelling software as real-time infrastructure through the installation of custom-steel grid-mesh.
Work spaces are carved out of this matrix to provide a sense of spatial division and privacy while retaining views across the entire studio.
Planting forms an important part of the space with biophilia – bringing elements of the outside in – enhancing workplace satisfaction.
In the presentation room, an LED hydroponic system throws magenta light on the planting, referencing the Squint/Opera logo, and casting a further element of artificiality over the space.
