NAB, Sydney

Commercial
This state-of-the-art staircase at NAB’s Sydney headquarters connects 11 floors and over 2,000 employees across 32,000 square meters. Crafted with solid Australian hardwood and aluminium, it’s a showcase of precision, sustainability, and modern workspace design.

Designed by Make Architects and Architectus with interiors by Woods Bagot, the new location in Sydney is the first of NAB’s two brand new corporate office buildings launched in 2021, providing employees with modern facilities designed for the future of collaborative working. Home to more than 2,000 employees, NAB Place Sydney is comprised of two connected spaces: the heritage-listed Shell House building and the Carrington Street tower, with the main entrance on Carrington Street.

Sustainability has been embedded in the fit-out and building design, reducing the impact on environmental resources throughout its life cycle, ranging from early design and material selection to on-site construction, building operation, occupancy, and end of life. The building has achieved a minimum 5 Star Green Star Design for office design from the Green Building Council of Australia.

The commercial staircases created by Asentis internally connect 11 floors across 32,000 square meters of adaptable workspace that responds to NAB’s vision to ‘deliver an authentic and agile workplace experience that enables and empowers our business, people, customers, and communities to realise their potential and maximise performance.’ The amphitheatre staircase finished in timber floors accommodates a social space and events auditorium for the staff to socialise and workshop. In total, 10.5 tons of structural steel were used to fabricate the architectural stairs. With solid Australian hardwood linings to the inside and solid aluminium plate to the outside, these stairs are as eye-catching as they are remarkable.
