Rio Tinto

Designed by Cox Architecture, Rio Tinto in Brisbane’s CBD delivers a sustainable and adaptable model that accommodates new ways of working for an increasingly distributed workforce.  

Spanning 9 levels, the workplace is within an adaptive reuse development that merges two ex-government buildings into a single A-Grade tower. Cox was tasked with a brief to create a nimble workplace that will adapt to the evolution and progression of the Rio Tinto business, story, and connection with the community.

The new workplace explores an alternative to standard workspaces, creating a diverse and blended model that is supported by a high proportion of hackable, collaborative areas. 30% of the primary work points are moveable, affording teams complete autonomy and control over their workspace. 

With flexibility, durability, easy maintenance and design versatility in mind, Bolon flooring complements the design aesthetic while adding a functional flooring solution to the expansive space.
