Project overview
Complete office fitout for Richland Brands including demolition, reconfiguration, and services integration at their Parramatta workplace.
Client Brief
Our client, Richland Brands, engaged DY Constructions for their office relocation to Parramatta. As an existing client with whom we’ve previously delivered successful projects, they trusted us to once again deliver a tailored outcome. The new tenancy featured an existing speculative fitout, but Richland required the space to be reimagined to reflect their evolving brand needs and company culture.
Key to the brief was designing the layout in alignment with Feng Shui principles, incorporating cultural elements into the spatial planning. DY worked closely with the client to develop a revised floor plan that introduced new offices, a vibrant waiting area, a plight room, and a server room. Scope also included custom wall construction, carpet installation, and detailed wallpaper finishes to deliver a workspace that was both functional and aligned with Richland’s values and aesthetics.
Challenges
The fitout required strict compliance with building management (Colliers), which involved integrating with base building mechanical and fire protection systems. Protection of lifts, foyer spaces, and common areas was mandatory due to other tenants occupying the building, necessitating careful staging and management.
The client placed significant emphasis on soundproofing and acoustic performance, particularly in office and meeting rooms. They also had a strong vision for an inviting reception and waiting area, which meant incorporating specific brand colours and cultural elements in line with their logo.
In addition, the design process needed to account for Feng Shui principles. DY had to collaborate closely with the client’s Feng Shui master, requiring plan revisions and drawing updates before works could commence—ensuring all spatial arrangements were approved and aligned with cultural considerations.
The Solution
DY Constructions applied strong project management and close coordination with both the client and building management to ensure all guidelines and expectations were met. The design team collaborated directly with the client and their Feng Shui consultant to create a layout that adhered to cultural preferences while reflecting the brand’s visual identity and aesthetic.
To enhance acoustic performance, acoustic wall panelling was installed to reduce sound transmission between rooms. Upgraded V-Lam hush acoustic glass and Raven door seals were also specified and used throughout to meet the client’s requirements for privacy and quiet. This approach ensured a culturally mindful, visually appealing, and acoustically functional workplace.
The Result
The project was successfully completed in line with all building management and Feng Shui requirements. DY Constructions delivered a culturally integrated, modern workspace featuring new offices, a reconfigured layout, acoustic wall panels, upgraded V-Lam glass, Raven door seals, a vibrant waiting area, and detailed finishes including wallpaper and new carpet tiles. The client was highly satisfied with the outcome and engaged DY for further works following the completion of this project.
