Our custom joinery and design process

Howgroup design R&D team put to the test again to design and build a new reception desk to “fit the interior layout.

Located @727 Collins st, AECOM’s Melbourne Corporate HQ required a custom design to enhance the feel and traffic flow of a busy entry.

An impressive greeting and sign-in point with a fully equipped work point with concealed cable management in the walls, stunning white Carrara marble tile fingers with veneer on the top wrap around the curved walls fitting like a glove. Made in 3 sections and reconstructed on site. A stunning and impactful design result.

Implementation

Custom Examples: Reception

The collaboration between Howgroup R&D with an exclusive high-end private designer continued to design and build a stunning reception desk. Multiple drawings were produced to arrive at a final build scenario.

Doubling as a greeting point and a fully equipped dual work point with concealed cable management in the walls, stunning white Carrara marble fingers with veneer on the top wrap around the curved walls fitting like a glove. Made in 3 sections and first constructed in our workshop to fine-tune before delivery and then craned into the building to sit under a custom light to enhance each other.

Board room table

Interpreting the Designers Concept, a beautiful unique board table evolved for a private wealth family HQ.

Constructed utilising the best in Australian workshops, solid 38mm timber with two different drum bases wrapped with pure wool fabric, with removable panels for access, 100mm steel square posts inside welded to a steel sub frame to hold together and support the heavy top, 7200mm long made in two sections and finally craned into the buildings 2nd level. Concealed Power and Data accessed through the floor.

A piece of impressive and functional custom furniture to complement a high-level executive board room.

Workshop

Interpreting a design concept from DCM, the Howgroup R&D team went to work to design and build a fully functional workshop for the new Melbourne Grammar School Science building.

Utilising the best in the Australian production, locally ethically sourced solid timber and steel, a workshop evolved to stand the test of time and provide the students with a world-class trading facility.

Book Shelves

Shared spaces are undergoing a revolution. The way we understand work, the explosion of technology, and even the new ways we have of interacting with each other lead us to call for new spaces.

Welcoming spaces and open concept rooms where you can break out of the routine and find a place to concentrate. The secret lies in creating different areas, settings, and areas in a multipurpose space that provide value to the user so that they choose our space not just for having a coffee or a drink in.
