The 5-level staircase at Allianz Melbourne’s HQ combines modern aesthetics, functionality, and employee well-being, reflecting Allianz’s commitment to innovative, sustainable workspaces.

The staircase for Allianz Melbourne’s HQ at 555 Collins Street marks a significant achievement in design and collaboration. This landmark project, a partnership between Asentis, Gray Puksand, and JLL, exemplifies exceptional innovation and teamwork. The striking 5-level inter-tenancy staircase, expertly crafted by Asentis, serves as a central feature of the office space, symbolising connectivity and modern design.

The staircase's design and construction were a complex endeavor, requiring meticulous planning and coordination. The sleek white steel frame creates a contemporary aesthetic, while the glass balustrades provide an open, airy atmosphere, enhancing the sense of space and natural light throughout the building. Timber handrails introduce warmth, offering a balanced contrast to the modern materials and adding a touch of nature. This harmonious blend reflects a sophisticated yet welcoming environment, perfectly aligned with Allianz’s brand and workplace ethos.

More than just a functional element, the staircase is integral to the architectural narrative of Allianz’s new headquarters. The consolidation of Melbourne’s workforce into this state-of-the-art office required features that marry both form and function. The stairway connects five levels, facilitating seamless movement and fostering collaboration and interaction among employees.

Beyond the staircase, the new office is designed with employee well-being in mind, featuring 478 work points and 42 meeting spaces. These areas incorporate natural elements and wellness-focused designs, reflecting Allianz’s commitment to environmental sustainability and the health of its workforce.

With its thoughtful design elements, the new headquarters not only meets the practical needs of Allianz’s employees but also elevates their overall work experience.
