Glass plays an important role in shaping the interior at 80 Collins Street, creating a sense of openness while giving individual spaces their own identity. Optima Revolution 100 single and double-glazed partitions are used throughout, bringing a consistent architectural detail to the workplace.

The single-glazed system maintains clear views between spaces, while double glazing provides increased acoustic separation for areas requiring greater privacy. Together, they create a balance between open, connected spaces and quieter, enclosed environments, with the glass maintaining a consistent visual language throughout.

Beyond the immediate requirements of the interior, consideration was also given to how the space could evolve over time. Optima’s Adaptable Meeting Room (AMR) system introduces a more flexible approach to meeting room design, allowing enclosed spaces to be repositioned or reconfigured as the needs of the workplace change.

Rather than treating meeting rooms as permanent fixtures, AMR allows existing components to be retained and reused in future layouts. This reduces reliance on new materials and the waste associated with repeated refurbishment, offering a more considered approach to the long-term use of workplace interiors.

Despite the different functions of each partitioning system, a consistent visual language runs throughout the interior. Optima’s AMR, Revolution 100 single and double-glazed systems all share the same 100 mm track width, creating a uniform appearance across the glazed elevations. This allows different levels of acoustic separation and adaptability to be incorporated without changing the overall proportions of the framing.

Completing the design, Edge Unity and Edge Synergy doors complement the glazed partitions, maintaining a considered relationship between the glass, framing and entrances. Together, the systems create a cohesive interior where the detailing remains consistent, despite the different requirements of each space.
