Australian Retirement Trust

Cox Architecture were engaged in 2020 to design Australian Retirement Trust’s (ART) Brisbane workplace. Formed through the merger of Sunsuper and QSuper, ART are one of Australia’s largest super funds. They wanted a home that nurtured their bright future while honouring the legacy of their past. The design needed to also supporting the transition from two organisations into one. The result is a progressive and diverse workplace set across 14-levels in one of Brisbane’s most iconic buildings.

The design seeks to place what is important to ART at the fore, crafting a welcoming workplace that embodies their cultural values and delivers an exceptional experience for their people, members, and connected communities.

In addition to large gathering spaces, the workplace houses a series of dynamic hubs that connect teams and business lines. This enables teams to interact, redefine their environment, and maintain a sense of curiosity and delight – in turn empowering staff and nurturing the customer experience. As ART continues to grow and evolve, the workplace will remain highly responsive to their business requirements, changing with them.

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