MWH Brisbane

Linear’s workplace for MWH in Brisbane extended an established national relationship – bringing the same design approach that underpinned the broader program to a space that needed to feel distinctly local.

While the national design framework provided a consistent foundation, the Brisbane fitout was shaped by the character of the city and the people who work there. The brief called for a genuine connection to the environment, an embrace of the active, outdoors-oriented culture that defines Brisbane, and a space that reflected MWH’s deeply held commitment to sustainability – what the team themselves describe as being “greenies” at heart.

The design responds in kind. The colour palette moves away from the cooler tones of the national scheme toward the warmth of the tropical environment – golden tones and vibrant greens inspired by the rainforest, grounded by the rich texture of coastal spotted gum timber. Plants feature prominently throughout, and environmentally responsible material selections were prioritised at every turn, as an expression of the organisation’s values.

It makes for a workplace that sits comfortably within the MWH family while feeling appropriate to the Brisbane context.
