Geyer Delivers Victoria’s First Sustainable Green Star Office
Posted in Models by tna-max on January 29th, 2009
Leading Interior Design firm Geyer has just completed Victorias first sustainable Green Star Office Interiors v1.1 Project for the new Victorian Auditor-General’s Office (VAGO) Head Office at 35 Collins Street, Melbourne. VAGO provides auditing services to parliament and Victorian public sector agencies and authorities and was committed to creating a green office in line with governmental policy from day one of the project.
Interiors v1.1 is a measurement tool for office interiors only, used to determine the suitability and longevity of fitout materials after a 12-month occupancy period. A ground breaking first for the design industry, Geyers $4 million vision for VAGO was to make the Green Star objective a reality, using alternate design solutions and materials selection based on longer term performance, flexibility and sustainable outcome.
