Core Project Group approached EJE to design a sensitive office fitout within the 1910 former AIF Drill Hall in Newcastle West. The building is Newcastle’s oldest remaining Army Depot and as such holds significant local heritage value. The entire open plan office space had to act as an ‘insertion’ within the space, not damaging or interrupting any of the original heritage structure or fabric of the building. The challenge was to create a modern office fitout, reflective of the client’s own brand, while remaining true to the building they are occupying.
