Cosoff Cudmore Knox

Background

Adelaide law firm Cosoff Cudmore Knox was seeking a new, purpose-built office that comprised three floors of meeting rooms, work spaces, library and improved on-site facilities.

Challenges

• Interior needed to be gutted
• Fitout needed to be high end and contemporary while the building’s old façade required restoration
• A lift needed to be retro-fitted and had specific requirements to allow glass to be installed
• Limestone floor in the foyer required expert installation to ensure long-term colour and crispness

Outcomes

• We completely removed the interior, only keeping the façade, roof structure and five internal concrete columns
• The final fit-out was sophisticated with light shades imported from Denmark and the timber flitches for the stairs hand-picked by our project team to ensure consistency of colour
• We retrofitted the lift and adhered to specific welding requirements for its steel, allowing glass to be installed with a tight and clean finish
• We used four different floor substrates to cope with height, weight and cost issues
• Cut and polished limestone in the foyer required us to use a specific sealer, ensuring it remains white and crisp over time
