JOURNEY THROUGH THE WORKPLACE LIKE NO OTHER
Ambience Bundoora, Melbourne
The #nofilter office that gently evolves and changes colour every minute of the day
You might’ve seen our new building/studio/workspace/playground/labyrinth. It’s been lucky enough to feature in a number of publications and media including Design Boom, Indesignlive, and even as far as Elle Magazine Spain.

The project saw us create a playful, yet carefully considered, use of natural light, shadow, and colour mixed with artificial light. The concept uses ambience’s light-hearted branding and tone, and was based on optical prisms, which can break light into its constituent spectral colours an effect in the meeting of dichroic film, natural light, shadow, artificial light and the sun.
There are more intimate zones scattered throughout, defined by bright pastel colours and glazed panels with a dichroic window film. There is a layered and compelling design perceived differently from every direction, allowing visual connections throughout, and altering perceptions of depth and range.

This phenomenon was creatively executed through the use of colour and angular line, visually connecting walls, floors, and ceilings. There are more intimate zones scattered throughout, defined by bright pastel colours and glazed panels with a dichroic window film. Studio Y created a layered and compelling design perceived differently from every direction, allowing visual connections throughout and altering perceptions of depth and range.
The space is designed to give varied visual stimulation at different times of the day, from mesmerising natural sunlight to mind-bending prism effects and arresting back-lit colour gradients, with colours becoming denser and shadows more dynamic depending on time. Working hand-in-hand with the dichroic film is a tailored backlit double-layered acoustic paneling in the ceiling, created to provide mood-calming and smooth illumination, and to not clutter or confine the space with suspended fixtures.
