Wilson Landscape Architects transformed an unlikely corrugated iron warehouse into an award-winning office space for Powerlink, integrating interior landscapes to enhance employee health, wellbeing, and productivity.

At the heart of the open-plan office is a vibrant atrium, featuring watercourses, trees, and ground plants that serve as the building’s “lungs”—filtering air and fostering a calm, healthy work environment. This internal landscape not only improves air quality but also creates a distinctive, tranquil atmosphere for staff.

The design extends beyond the atrium, with over 1,000 staff using outdoor landscape spaces for both socialization and work-related meetings. In 2012, a new covered outdoor space was added, providing additional areas for collaboration and relaxation.

This project showcases the power of interior and exterior landscapes in supporting a sustainable, productive workplace.
