Burwood Council Workplace
DesignInc helped Burwood Council rethink their workplace to better meet the needs of the council team. Providing integrated architectural, interior and landscape design services, we designed both new and reimagined spaces to house administrative and staff workspace facilities as well as outdoor areas.
Across a pedestrian laneway, an exciting new 3000m2 two-storey administrative facility accommodates all council staff. Designed with an agile working approach, the open plan workplace features hot desks, collaboration spaces, breakout spaces, flexible meeting rooms and a large lunch room with external balcony.
This transformational project is the realisation of a vision to create a space that reflects our rich history, our thriving present and our optimism for the future.

Burwood Council Mayor
An elevated pedestrian link bridge connects the new building with the old: a conceptual ‘journey’ between the two, overlooking a laneway landscaped with planting, seating and public art.
On time and on budget
Despite a range of challenges, including working through the COVID-19 pandemic, DesignInc is proud to have worked closely with the Burwood Council team and many consultants to successfully deliver this fantastic project on time and on budget.
