Over 650 staff past and present, along with special guests gathered from around Australia and abroad to attend the black tie event held at Penninsula, in Melbourne’s Docklands. A celebration of Schiavello’s history and Italian heritage, the Central Pier venue was transformed into a ‘night at the piazza’ complete with Italian inspired décor and music.

3AW’s David Mann hosted the evening and presented a touching ‘This Is Your Life’ tribute which gave a unique insight into the company’s foundations, growth and achievements. Former and present employees were invited to share stories live on stage alongside Tony, Joe and Peter Schiavello.

Australian comedian Shane Jacobson entertained guests as a roving reporter throughout the evening, in addition to live performances from opera singers and Italian duo, Kato. The evening was complemented with Atlantic Group’s first-class food and hospitality.

ART MEETS WORK :: Hybrid, adaptable spaces are of

ART MEETS WORK :: Hybrid, adaptable spaces are of course becoming familiar qualities of cutting-edge workplace design. The traditional office comprising merely desks and meeting rooms no longer cuts it, whether considered from the point of view of visitors to the space – such as @anz_au ’s clients in this case – or of the employees who are looking for reasons to attend work in person.

The interesting move that @foolscapstudio has made in this design is to create a sharply delineated gallery space, named ANZ Centre Gallery, that sits in striking distinction to the more regular working spaces.

Instead of threading pieces of art into the office, merging work and art in one place, at least some of the collection has been granted its very own place – not art in the workplace but a gallery over and above it.

According to Le Corbusier, the struggle for it underpins the history of architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright described it as a “beautifier of buildings”. And Motoko Ishii famously equated it to life itself. Indispensable, life-affirming and metamorphic, light underpins all architectural and design efforts.
