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.
