A belief that truly great engineering takes curiosity, bravery and trust is the foundation of the BG&E business.

Venko BG&E

Material choices in the raw & tactile qualities of stone, steel and timber reflect the robustness and technical excellence in what they do, there is also warmth in the colour tones & an impression of trust and familiarity as you traverse the space.

Awe inspiring views fueled the spatial planning with the breakout and boardroom positioned to lean into the dramatic vistas and the open plan workspaces aligned to maximise access for everyone to natural light. The expansive breakout connects via a movable wall to the boardroom, creating a town hall space for team gatherings, industry forums & client functions. A multi-purpose wellness retreat that acts as a parent’s room, first aid, multi-faith space & for general wellbeing, is positioned with the best corner window views in the office. This prime location that would once only have been afforded to senior business leaders, is in itself an intentional demonstration of the BG&E culture of inclusivity & the importance of the wellbeing of their people.

This is a workspace that that mirrors the BG&E people, culture and vision, a space that tells their unique story.

A belief that truly great engineering takes curiosity, bravery and trust is the foundation of the BG&E business. Our team created an environment to draw out these elements shaping a workspace that that mirrors the BG&E people, culture and vision, a space that tells their unique story.

Cultural identity is important to BG&E. Our design includes a breakout space created to be  focused on entertainment; with built in ovens for creation of shared meals, height adjustable tables to actively encourage team social gatherings, including Friday ‘cocktail hour’ and space for the highly contested team table tennis championships. While our design includes these more obvious culture-shaping elements, Venko’s response goes beyond this to intentionally set the tone of the environment – shaping how it feels to inhabit the space – both for BG&E employees, industry partners & visiting guests. While this might suggest the intangible, it is the considered application of colour, form, materiality & lighting that has achieved the expression of the Melbourne team cultural identity.
