Challenge
Championing Sustainability
Parramatta Square, one of Australia’s most significant urban regeneration projects, posed a unique challenge in terms of designing a sustainable and efficient workspace for the bustling city center. We were entrusted with the task of designing, manufacturing and installing workstations to floors 1-15 of the 6&8 Parramatta Square building, which aimed to be the largest commercial office building in the country. Sustainability was at the forefront of the challenge, with the target of achieving a 6 Star Green Star As Built rating.
Solution
Local Solution
Building on our successful collaboration with Built. and Walker Corporation at 4 Parramatta Square, we extended our expertise to the 6&8 Parramatta Square project. The solution was centred around the use of our GECA Certified Alto workstation system, designed with tops made from Polytec’s Green Tag Certified E0 MDF board and screens upholstered in Woven Image’s Mura fabric, boasting 60% post-consumer recycled PET content. Notably, workstations on level 11 featured bespoke Forbo Linoleum tops with a contrasting solid Blackbutt timber edging detail, complemented by our Licensed Australian Made Alto workstation system in a striking and durable black powder coat, all meticulously produced in our Sydney factory.
Achievements
Celebrating success with Property NSW
The project resulted in a sustainable oasis within the heart of Parramatta, emphasising the commitment to environmental responsibility. The workspace not only helped with the achievement of a 6 Star Green Star As Built rating, aligning with the highest standards of sustainability but also showcased our dedication to eco-friendly design and quality manufacturing processes. This project marked a significant milestone in urban regeneration and sustainability, contributing to the ongoing transformation of Parramatta Square.
Durable & Stylish Workstations
The inclusion of bespoke Forbo Linoleum tops with Blackbutt timber edging detail on level 11 workstations added a touch of sophistication and uniqueness to the project.

Our manufacturing of all workstations and components in our Fairfield factory highlighted their dedication to local craftsmanship and quality control. This showcased the advantages of partnering with a trusted local provider capable of delivering top-tier sustainable solutions while supporting the Australian manufacturing industry.
Achieving Sustainability Milestones
Our use of GECA Certified Alto workstations with eco-friendly materials and contributed to achieving a 6 Star Green Star As Built rating were exemplary. The project served as a testament to the importance of environmental responsibility in modern workspace design.
