Located within the iconic Harry Seidler designed three-tower precinct of ‘Darling Park’, Hammond Studio designed the office interiors for Yancoal Mining.
Each of the three towers has a central core with a different axis.
The placement of functions around the three sides provided Yancoal with views of Sydney Harbour and beyond.
In the design development of the client area, the Hammond Studio team consulted with the CEO to discuss the proposed finishes.
He directed that a stone be sourced that has visual fossils throughout, a fitting brief for a company that deals with below-ground fossils.
The selected ‘fossilized’ stone was selected and paired with other natural materials like American Cherrywood used as wall paneling and joinery.

An illuminated brass rod ceiling is a striking addition to the space, highlighted by up lighting wall lights custom made in American Cherrywood.
The use of colour is restrained to carpets and fabric wall paneling within meeting rooms and furniture upholstery only.
A sophisticated burgundy red was used rather than the bright red used in Yancoal’s branding.
In the work zones, a proposed new planning approach to their previous accommodation was accepted.
The previous model of accommodation had offices placed along the facade which hogged views and daylight from the internalised staff.
Instead all offices were placed against the core of the building away from the facade, affording equitable access to daylight and views for all staff.
The main staff refresh hub was designed for multiple functions of varying scale, providing large open social gathering spaces through to private booths for up to four colleagues to collaborate or dine together.
All gathering points are provided with power and USB chargers so they can also be used as work points.
