Completed under the old Office Furniture scheme C1006, CSM supplied all steel storage in the NSW Treasury fit-out – the most recent in CSM’s Government agency fit-outs nationally.

“Treasury prototyped the storage solution at our former offices and allowed staff input to the proposed solutions. The solution involved two types of storage units at the end of run, two tambours, and one retractable door with coat cupboard.”

The effect of the coat storage, for example, is that it “encourages staff not to own the chair by leaving the coats behind,” says Earle. More generally, it helps create an agile workplace culture, supporting innovation and collaboration, just what Treasury was after.

The end of run storage and joinery elements helped make “the tightly zoned planning of the Treasury fit out possible” as well as providing “a natural barrier to work neighbourhoods without compromising on the feeling of space across the fit out.” Thus, CSM contributed not only to efficiency in terms of storage, but to a positive environment overall.
