VicHealth's transformation within the historic Sands & McDougall building demonstrates how art creates genuine human connection whilst supporting mental wellbeing and creativity. We collaborated with eight artists from Multi-Cultural Arts Victoria to create stimulating visual environments that encourage free thinking and social engagement. The design embraces post-pandemic workplace typologies through biophilic principles, WELL rating standards, and comprehensive sensory comfort considerations, proving that healthy indoor environments naturally support both individual flourishing and organisational mission delivery.
Art-Driven Wellbeing Integration
Commissioning murals from eight Multi-Cultural Arts Victoria artists created visual stimulation that actively supports mental wellbeing. This artistic collaboration transforms working environments into galleries that inspire creativity whilst celebrating Melbourne's diverse cultural communities within daily work experiences.
"The design demonstrates a significant shift in how office space is perceived. Deliberately putting the staff first, it flips the traditional approach of placing the greatest emphasis on spectacular focus points such as boardrooms, intended to impress visiting clients."
