Woods Bagot is proud to announce that Property & Development NSW (PDNSW) won the Yardi Award for Best Workplace Project for the NSW Government Workplace Hub at 6 Parramatta Square (6PSQ) at this year’s Property Council of Australia’s Innovation and Excellence Awards.
Working closely with PDNSW, Woods Bagot provided one of largest-ever office design projects in Australia, with 15 levels of integrated fitout at 6PSQ.
Director Amanda Stanaway says, “the role of traditional, physical offices has never been more important, providing a central collaboration space and cultural touchstone.”
“Like most of our clients, the NSW Government continues to evolve how they curate their workforce, elevating the role the physical office plays in enabling culture, connection, and collaboration,” says Stanaway.
Woods Bagot Project Lead, Leonie Weiss says, “The vision for 6PSQ was provide a flexible workplace to reflect the NSW Government’s commitment to collaboration, communication and attracting the best employees in the industry – while responding to the local environment through clever, functional design.”
“Inspired by the nearby Parramatta River, the design narrative embodies a highly energised ‘water’s edge’, through gentle curve forms throughout the space. The planning solutions connect with an accessible and collaborative spine that provides support, energy and diversity to enhance the performance of the workspace,” says Weiss.
Two interconnecting stairs enrich connections through a base build modification, and the introduction of a Link bridge across one level between 6PSQ & 4PSQ which connects 5000sqm of meeting, training and touchdown space for government employees and their partners.
6PSQ has achieved a 5.5 Star NABERS Energy rating and a 6-Star Green Star rating and was completed in 2022 with collaborators DBS Consulting and Built (Base Build & Contractor).
The whole building development of 6&8 Parramatta Square by Walker Corporation won the Property Council of Australia People’s Choice Award. The project is the final tower in a premier mixed-use precinct, designed by JPW Architects, offering a 55-storey commercial space and featuring state-of-the-art workplaces, elevated retail and a vibrant public domain.
