Hames Sharley with Arup and Peter Farmer Designs for Arup Workplace Perth/Boorloo
Arup’s workplace, located on Whadjuk Noongar Country, is reflective of the global consultancy’s values, unique culture and commitment to sustainability. It is imbued with an authentic connection to, and reverence for, Country, cultivating space to acknowledge stories of its place and past, and to nurture those yet to come.
