Studio Tonic are pleased to share images of Minotaur Exploration's recently completed commercial office. 
 
The design philosophy used geological striations and desert earth as a direction for the details of the project, with the natural movement and compressions of earth creating interesting forms and colours. The joinery took on these forms, and highlighted strongly the grain and texture of the new Laminex Impressions range.
 







 
This commercial fitout utilised some existing built form in the tenancy, whilst creating new open workstation areas with access to natural light.  Also new for Minotaur is a large, light and bright team breakout and meeting space.
 






 

A few touches of home were also utilised, to create a comfortable feel for staff who spend time in the field. Frames were provided at each desk for Minotaur to personalise, and other groupings are scattered around the office. Many of the great photos were taken by staff whilst on exploration digs. 

 
 


            













A more moody and corporate feel was created in the Executive Suite, which houses the boardroom, meeting room together with a large quiet room.  This multi function space can be utilised as a small meeting room, boardroom ante room or temporary office for visiting consultants.


Minotaur Exploration are now working in their new Norwood based office, with thrilled staff already utilising the variety of activity based workspaces created in this budget driven, yet comfortable and creatively designed fitout.
