CFMEU Headquarters

Australia’s prominent trade union organisation, the CFMEU, tasked Nick Lewis Design (NLD) with developing a suite of large-scale environmental graphics and essential and interpretive signage to complement an extensive redevelopment of the organisation’s headquarters in Melbourne. The architectural remit granted to SPACEOS encompassed the building entrance, the CFMEU shop, amenities and an historical objects display. Considering the functionality of these spaces and the need to reflect the core CFMEU values of safety, community, unity and pride into the design, NLD used strong, building site-like materials, such as treated steel, rusted metals and laser-cut stone. The typeface, Druk, was customised into a stencil font to echo building site signage and rolled out across all mediums.
