Decorating articles and inspiration from TrendsIdeas
The fit-out of the new offices for media company Fairfax colour-codes zoned areas according to use, with Resene paints specified for all interior surfaces.
When leading media group Fairfax consolidated to new premises, the fit-out reflected an exciting, activity-based workplace with flexibility at its heart.
A key part of the office design by TSE was the creation of sound-appropriate zones on both floors – designated according to areas of use. The zones are identified by their tell-tale colours appearing on doors, lockers, and as furniture accents.
On the lower reception floor, for example, the louder red zone – signified by Resene Salsa – includes the cafe, kitchen, call centre and editorial department. Around this area lies the medium-noise yellow zone, with workstations and meeting spaces – in Resene Galliano. The outer edges of the floor are designated the quiet zone – in green Resene Seagrass – where workstations are located with pods that provide privacy and acoustic dampening. All these staff-orientating colours pop against neutral white walls in Resene Half Merino.
