The bespoke Macquarie Park building consolidates the Swiss pharmaceutical giant’s existing offices in Macquarie Park, Frenchs Forest, Pyrmont, and Melbourne into one location. Housing some 800 employees across six storeys, the building features fabric wrapped pinboards by Designer Pinboards throughout.

Linen wrapped, pinnable panels have been used extensively throughout the building’s design. Meeting Rooms and break out areas all feature the Designer Pinboards products. Following in line with the current trend in office design, the architects have considered both acoustic noise reduction and the practical value of collaboration on pinnable walls.
