Case Study: Transforming Workplace Design at Gallagher’s Australian Headquarters. Redefining the Modern Workspace with Australian Craftsmanship
At AWM Amaroo, we believe a workplace should be more than a space to work—it should be an environment that inspires, adapts, and supports its people. Recently, we had the privilege of partnering with PMG Group (NSW) to transform Gallagher’s Australian headquarters in North Sydney into a workplace that seamlessly reflects the company’s goals, culture, and vision. Spanning Levels 15 and 16, this project brings together innovative design and premium Australian craftsmanship to create a functional, comfortable, and collaborative space that is as adaptable as it is beautiful
