The World Is Round for Grundy

Andrew Cliffe, of The World Is Round architectural firm, has recently completed the new commercial fitout for the combined media forces of Grundy and Crackerjack Entertainment: FremantleMedia.

August 4th, 2008

Designing the new headquarters for FremantleMedia, on Sydney’s lower North Shore, presented challenges and also provided many exciting opportunities for The World Is Round’s, Andrew Cliffe.

“Fremantle Media loved the individuality of the existing freestanding building they were occupying and hence the project embarked on designing headquarters with a full base building upgrade including services upgrade to current BCA guidelines.

“The visitor must see and feel the people to understand the organisations energy and thus its ability to do business,” says Cliffe.

Slick finishes such as Axoltle, quartz carpet and the upholstered Moov™ wall system add lighthearted texture and rhythmic form to the environment.

Each floor boasts its own unique feel, while unexpected meeting rooms show the creative flair Andrew Cliffe’s is known for.

The World Is Round Pty Ltd has created a dynamic corporate space, exposing the nature of their vibrant business.
