Australian Traveller reviews the recently-completed The StandardX, Melbourne hotel in Fitzroy, which opened its doors to its first guests in August. "The StandardX is the little sister of the original The Standard Hotel. It’s not quite as brash, and nowhere near as party-hard. This far more subtle offshoot is perfectly suited to its locale in one of Melbourne’s coolest neighbourhoods and offers visitors an attractive alternative to the average CBD stay," Australian Traveller writes. "The eye-catching, rusted exterior, designed by Woods Bagot, looks as if it has been part of the neighbourhood for decades," it continues. "It’s the first of its kind in the world, so naturally, this Fitzroy hotel is setting its own standards."

Nearly 250,000 people pass through Central Station every day – a diverse mix of individuals, each with their own unique story and destination. John Prentice, Woods Bagot Principal and Global Transport Lead, explains the team's vision, "Our design approach for Central was to create an emotional connection to the place where so many people meet and travel. We achieved this through careful consideration from the macro planning down to the micro of every detail – down to the tactility and materiality of the site, to the way natural light interacts with the space, shifting and changing the experience throughout the days and seasons." “Central Station is more than just a transit hub; it's a pivotal point in countless daily journeys. We wanted to craft a space that resonates with the human experience, one that people can feel and interact with on a sensory level. The play of light throughout the day creates ever-changing atmospheres, while carefully selected materials invite touch and exploration, making each visit unique." At the heart of the design is the principle of inclusivity. "Universal access is key," Prentice emphasises. "With visitors and locals crossing paths each day, Central is truly a place for everyone. We've meticulously designed every aspect to ensure that regardless of ability or background, all users can navigate and enjoy the space with ease and dignity."

With ESG values widely discussed in markets all over the world, Germany certainly holds a world-leading position when it comes to environmentally responsible construction and building stock. The ‘S’ for ‘social’ however – while being sensibly regulated and acknowledged – appears to be less of a talking point. In cities like Berlin, even new buildings appear to be less focused on interaction with the public realm. In fact, many office buildings in the region are shutting out any form of urban life – offering small, efficient entrance points into buildings instead. In both cases, these design decisions result in a lost opportunity to celebrate the street level presence and the route that employees take from front door to desk (if they have a desk at all). More is possible – not only as a commercial necessity but as a much-needed strategy for office tenants across all sectors to better position themselves in the competition for, and retention of, talent.

Assemble Papers’s “Radical Renewal” series is an editorial deep dive into the built environment industry’s ongoing grappling with the tension between preservation and gentrification – an investigation into how we can revive the city’s treasured heritage assets while retaining the communities and subcultures that already exist. As part of this series, Sam Holleran discusses Woods Bagot’s renewal of the Younghusband Woolstore redevelopment, which repurposes an industrial wool store as a contemporary place to live, work and play, as housing stock and office space within the CBD grows increasingly scarce. Woods Bagot Principal Peter Miglis says the project is about the reopening the space to the communities around it. “It’s been off limits for a long time,” he says. “It’s got a beautiful laneway in it, and we wanted to open that up to everyone… to invite in the Kensington residents who have walked by it for so many years but never been able to enter.” “Younghusband can be an inspiration to similar projects around Australia, and the world, positing a way forward for cities in which industrial heritage – and the embodied carbon contained in old buildings – is retained,” writes Holleran. “The team developing Younghusband is looking at industrial heritage as more than facades, or the preservation of a few charismatic buildings. They aim to extend adaptive reuse to include structures that were once overlooked. In the future, the hope is that these projects will educate and inform newcomers to the city and the precinct about the labour that once took place there.” Read more: https://bit.ly/4cvX9qP #woodsbagot #peoplearchitecture #adaptivereuse #mixeduse

This week, Woods Bagot Graduate Interior Designer Hayley Sands will make her Paralympic debut in Paris as a member of Australia’s table tennis squad, good luck Hayley! Representing the country in three events: Women’s Class 2 singles (W2), Women’s Doubles (WW10) with Danni Di Torro, and Mixed Doubles (XR7) with Chris Addis, Hayley will bring the determination and talent we know so well in the studio onto the court. Before she left for Paris, we sat down with Hayley to hear about how her experiences have shaped her motivations as a designer, what working on projects like the New Women’s and Children’s hospital has been like and how her experiences in para-tennis translate to her career as an interior designer.

Sydney’s most celebrated architectural landmarks stand tall over the harbour: the iconic sails flanking the Jørn Utzon-designed Opera House, the sweeping steel arch of the Harbour Bridge. The latest, however, is below the city’s streets. A renovation of sprawling Central Station, the Australian city’s answer to Grand Central in New York and King’s Cross in London, was unveiled last year, a roughly A$1 billion overhaul led by Woods Bagot. The latest section - a set of sleek platforms serving the main city center section of Sydney’s Metro rail - is now open. “Typically with infrastructure-led projects, getting an architectural lens on these things is sometimes not the highest priority,” John Prentice, a principal and global transport sector leader at Woods Bagot, said during a visit to the station. Here, a key component “was really around shifting Central to not be a place of ‘through,’ but ‘to.’” Read more on Bloomberg: https://bloom.bg/3AJnCnu Sydney Metro Central Station: Laing O'Rourke | Aurecon + GHD | John McAslan + Partners | Büro North | Taylor Thomson & Whitting | Atkins | Artefact | OCP | Creative Road Art Projects | Rose Nolan | Bronwyn Bancroft #woodsbagot #peoplearchitecture #transport #rail #SydneyMetro

When asked about how she approaches working with clients to understand their needs and visions, Sarah responded "My vision for our business is to be relevant and impactful in finding solutions for the world’s mega-issues. I believe a ‘Total Place Design’ approach will have the most impact on the world ahead and believe this vision resonates well with all stakeholders – uniting them together for a common purpose." "To create transformative places, we need integrated thinking beyond architecture that solves problems upstream and enables connected outcomes across the design process."
