540 Wickham St, HQ North Towers Lobby

Cromwell Property Group’s HQ North Towers showcases a contemporary refurbishment to the lobby and relocation of the cafe. The establishment creates an open and distinctive street entry presence with the inclusion of a large voluminous space that is framed by an awning housing large street numbers that are illuminated at night.

Reflecting the existing building aesthetic, the entry is softened with the use of modern timber-look battening and stone planter walls with greenery that frame the external concrete seating. The entrance into the lobby is enhanced with a large green wall that adds a touch of nature to the modern flooring, pendant lights and concierge desk.

Previously, the lobby was disconnected to the outside space by a solid upstand which now has been removed and replaced with a full height glass to connect the new external terrace and flood the lobby with natural light.

Doubling the space is the inclusion of a large café that is visibly connected to the lobby, offering a semi enclosed space for informal meetings. The café promotes pedestrian activity, increasing the patronage to occupants who want a quick coffee pick-me-up or just for the meet and greet encounters.
