The staircase for WSP’s office fit-out at World Square combines sustainable design, cultural significance, and functional beauty, reflecting a commitment to quality and innovation.

The staircase for WSP’s office fit-out at World Square, Sydney, serves as a testament to quality, sustainability, and cultural connection. Featuring a unique corrugated perforated mesh balustrade, it offers transparency and an airy feel, while indigenous artwork by local artist Shane Youngberry adds cultural significance. Sustainable materials reflect Asentis' commitment to eco-friendly practices, with water-based paints and mill-finish mesh minimising environmental impact.

The design incorporates organic curves and soft edges, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and employee collaboration. By fostering a welcoming and open environment, the staircase encourages interaction and connectivity, contributing to a dynamic and engaging workplace. Asentis played a key role in the careful material selection, ensuring that sustainable and durable choices aligned with the project’s environmental goals.

Despite challenges such as tight timelines and budget constraints, Asentis delivered the project on time and within budget. The team’s meticulous planning and coordination ensured the architect’s intricate design vision was realized without compromising on quality. The final result is a staircase that not only serves as a practical element of the office fit-out but also symbolises WSP’s values of innovation, sustainability, and cultural connection.
