Our CEO Sarah Kay recently spoke with #ArchitectureLab's Anton Giuroiu to discuss all things architecture and design and shares her design and leadership style. 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."

Part of Australia’s largest infrastructure project, the Sydney Metro Chatswood to Sydenham line will officially welcome passengers Monday, 19 August. Woods Bagot is proud to have led the architectural design for two major sites – Sydney Metro Central and Sydney Metro Crows Nest stations. Both stations have been designed in direct response to the unique history and context of the sites on which they are located. Woods Bagot Principal and Transport Lead John Prentice says that for the Sydney Metro Central Station, “the design was always about respecting the rich heritage at Central Station in the transformation to accommodate a state of the art metro interchange. We wanted to customers to know they’ve arrived at Sydney’s beloved Central Station through the quality of the space and its connection to heritage through the warmth and tactility of the materials.” For Sydney Metro Crows Nest Station, the intersecting scales of community and infrastructure drove the successful design outcome. Woods Bagot Principal Lucian Gormley says, “Our design team found unique solutions that responded to the requirements of infrastructure whilst speaking to the historic, village scale, residential aspects of the surrounding community.” Gormley says that the carefully woven design elements speak directly to people, place, and typology. “The modulated brickwork façade system has successfully grounded the building within its local environment, whilst the cantilevered single brick modules create a lightness and modularity that reflects a more human scale sitting, in contrast to the exposed precast structure.” Learn more about the new metro services on the Sydney Metro website here: https://bit.ly/4fNHTZd 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 Sydney Metro Crows Nest Station: SMEC | Robert Bird Group | NDY | OCULUS | Surface Design Group | Büro North | Esther Stewart #WoodsBagot #PeopleArchitecture #Rail #Infrastructure

The stadium is perhaps the most likely type of civic infrastructure to attract public scrutiny. Home to a vast range of experiences, the typology hosts the highs of public life – providing the stage for performances and grounds for sporting matches. Events are formative in every city’s public psyche, so their setting – the stadium – must meet the highest of standards. But what happens when the event is over? Across the world, stadiums are only used for events approximately 10 to 20 percent of the year and are left to languish the other 80 to 90 percent. Expensive and deeply antisocial, these buildings are a lost opportunity for social and financial contribution to their communities, owners and operators. Stadiums should, and can, be useful every day of the week. Knowing this, how can we design stadiums to be better neighbours? Featured on Australian Design Review, Senior Associate Matt Reynolds' latest Insight explores this question.

Did you spot Woods Bagot's design for the Kimpton Margot Hotel lobby in the latest blockbuster, The Fall Guy? The Sydney hotel lobby, featuring luxe Art Deco touches, served as the perfect setting for the production and scenes. Our design integrates the original 1939 building’s Art Deco forms at 339 Pitt Street, once home to the Sydney Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board. The adaptive reuse of this heritage building also includes a rooftop restaurant, bar, and pool. We are thrilled to see these features and materiality showcased on the big screen by director David Leitch, producer Kelly McCormick, and as a backdrop for actor Ryan Gosling.

The much-anticipated The StandardX, Melbourne in Fitzroy officially opened on 8 August, welcoming its first overnight guests as The Standard Hotel's debut new sister brand. This new vein of Standard hotels is designed to merge avant-garde hospitality with local cultural flair, catering to the practical, modern traveller with an appetite for authentic local experiences. With architecture by Woods Bagot and interior design by Hecker Guthrie, the Fitzroy hotel takes on a distinctly local texture, inheriting the suburb's gritty industrialism combined with youthful eclecticism. "Its robust exterior of Corten steel was intended to pay homage to Fitzroy’s industrial history as Melbourne’s oldest suburb," writes Adair Winder for Architecture Media. "Rather than adopting a sleek and polished facade, the building references the gritty, unrefined character and urban texture of its location."

New Lord Mayor at City of Melbourne Nick Reece visited the recently-completed Younghusband Woolstore Redevelopment in Kensington on the fringe of Melbourne's CBD. "Could this be the best new commercial development in Australia?" writes Reece. "This is the calibre of development we're excited to see in the City of Melbourne." #woodsbagot #peoplearchitecture #adaptivereuse
Could this be the best new commercial development in Australia? 👀 The Younghusband Wool Store redevelopment by Woods Bagot is astounding. It's bringing Brooklyn NYC vibes to Kensington. This is a 1901-built building that is being transformed into a state-of-the-art commercial space. It's prime for attracting start-ups and entrepreneurs with features like an on-site café and deli, plus the best end-of-trip facilities I've seen in a long time. 😎 The natural light they've managed to capture inside is unbelievable, as is the amount of heritage value they're been able to retain. This is the calibre of development we're excited to see in the City of Melbourne. When this project finishes and the doors open, I'll be jostling to be first in line to step inside. 💥Ivanhoé Cambridge | Built.

Adaptive Reuse, referred to as "AD-APT" by Woods Bagot, is central to our commitment to sustainability, design excellence, and a people-focused approach. To further our dedication to showcasing the advantages of adaptive reuse, the Woods Bagot New York studio hosted a panel discussion at the American Australian Association. "Reimagining the Past, Designing the Future: The Art and Impact of Adaptive Reuse," moderated by ARCHITECT Magazine's Paul Makowsky, brought together Woods Bagot CEO Sarah Kay, Principal Matt Stephenson, and Matthew Linde, Principal and CEO of Property Resources Corporation. They discussed the opportunities and challenges of adaptive reuse from both local and global perspectives. Although the drivers for these types of projects vary depending on geographic location, Matt Stephenson articulated what makes adaptive reuse possible: "It's the passion and creativity of those interested in design and in finding innovative solutions. Each project is unique, presenting its own set of challenges and opportunities. Through our experience, we've discovered that the key to success lies in identifying and leveraging the unique elements of each project and then working together to make it happen."

"At Woods Bagot, we don’t believe that the call for employees’ presence in the workplace is a good enough answer to the situation. It is certainly not one that invites the best talent to provide their best input. Instead, we think that the change required to combat the current challenges offers tremendous opportunity," says Principal Florian Frotscher in his latest Insight Germany's Incoming Workplace Evolution. "We can create places that not only focus on efficiency but also actually drive productivity, with activation and interaction leading to new ideas, true innovation, and a real sense of joy in going to work," he continues.
