Once a rock band’s rehearsal space, Siren Design was charged with the challenge of converting an under-utilised warehouse above an existing substation, into a high performance workplace for Beon Energy Solutions and their parent company CitiPower Powercor.
The theme of power and energy was used to define the pulse of the design with a rhythmical beat of Melbourne’s CBD laneways, propelled through the industrial features of the building. A series of murals by local artist Daniel Wenn weave the history of the building as a substation and Beon’s interest in renewable energy solutions into one narrative and create a connection to Melbourne’s street art scene. Bright colours and unique characters within the artwork welcome visitors and staff from the laneway roller door up to the office breakout.
