Bowman Ingredients

In the light of their rapid growth, Bowman Ingredients purchased on a large industrial building in close proximity to their previous location to enable expansion.

The Bowman team partnered with COEL to design and refurbish their new headquarters, which would support both their specific operational requirements as well as providing a fresh and invigorating working environment for the office-based workers.

Impressive floor-to-ceiling, curved windows create a big statement as you enter the building and characterise the look and feel of the interior design. Chevron flooring give this gateway room a sleek, Art Deco feel while colourful furniture and luscious plant displays add a vibrant and homely touch. The reception desk is a sleek, duotone corner unit which enhances, but does not distract from the elegant, understated decor.

The sophisticated styling continues throughout, reflected in the clean lines and layout of the interior evidenced in the kitchen which combines a clever juxtaposition of vertically positioned wall tiles alongside decorative timber slats. This simple, pared back look is complimented by the royal azure blue, which is used as the signature colour in decorating throughout the design and is sharpened with pops of citrus shaded furniture. Bleacher seating and geometric style furniture are skilfully woven into the office and social spaces reflecting an architectural aesthetic. Industrial style lighting provides a nod to the manufacturing heritage of the building adding character to the interior finish.
