Major Lithium Mining company, Liontown Resources, established itself in Rhodes house, a leading building for innovation and excellence in energy efficiency and environmental standards.

The brief was to design a front of house that was packed with impact when global companies would visit for the first time. Central to the organisations values was the notion of “family and a strong sense of team”, a big differentiator from competitors in the market.

PAPER began with the concept of family culture centred on the kitchen, a cue drawn from briefing workshops. The building’s natural footprint with a side core to the east and full height 3 metre glazing on north and south facades dictated a clear planning direction.

Public spaces including Boardroom, Multipurpose room, Reception subsequently blur boundaries with a Staff Kitchen and Breakout space, all bathed in northern light.

This front of house public realm becomes a fully activated community hub. PAPER's interior architecture draws the eye through this realm with a vaulted ceiling in a warm light timber veneer, modulating its acoustic properties according to function.
