Bringing Designs to Life AWM Transforming Workplaces
As an Australian manufacturer AWM has been making, supplying and installing commercial furniture and joinery in workplaces for the crème of corporate Australia for nearly three decades. Through a superior product range and commitment to excellence AWM has become an integral contributor to the architecture and design landscape, working with Australia’s foremost architects, designers and construction companies to achieve excellent design resolutions in myriad iconic commercial landmark projects.
One of AWM’s most recent projects is 4 Parramatta Square (4PS), part of the Walker Corporation development that is transforming the City of Parramatta in Western Sydney. AWM was engaged by construction company Built to manufacture, supply and install workstations, chairs, tables and storage units for all 33 floors of the showpiece building designed by Woods Bagot.
AWM co-founder Anthony Scotts describes 4PS as a workplace that ‘almost feels like home’, “Woods Bagot designed an environment for the NSW Government that takes leading edge to a whole new level. Beyond that, the thousands of Government employees working here are privy to something you rarely see - uninterrupted 360 degree views of Sydney through floor-to-ceiling windows that filter streams of natural light. ”
As with all projects undertaken by AWM, collaboration is key and working closely with Built ensured that 4PS was completed on time, on budget and finished to the highest international standards in terms of both quality and Green Star ratings.
As a local manufacturer, AWM is agile, meeting the requirement for short lead times, tailoring product, developing prototypes and customising solutions for clients. Anthony explained, “Essentially we’re a supplier, but we like to think that the services and tailored solutions we offer along the way make us far more than that. As an Australian manufacturer, everything we need is under one roof in our Sydney factory. We have flexibility in manufacturing, which in turn gives our clients freedom in design. Any concept they create, we can make and deliver with speed. We’re not reliant on imports and we take great pride in our team’s ability to bring every design to life.”
Of course care for the environment was uppermost in the building and supply of product to 4PS and Anthony commented that, “AWM has provided green star product so that the carbon footprint will be negligible. That’s probably what we’re most proud of, along with the technology, our sit-to-stand workstations that are app controlled. Sustainability and innovation underline everything we do at AWM we’re always looking to the future.”
Proudly Australian, has been the manufacturer’s motto for the past 27 years and it’s captured in every aspect of AWM’s contribution to 4PS.
