A sharply detailed investment workplace for C&D Capital Melbourne
C&D Capital’s Melbourne office was designed by Bates Smart and delivered by Rork Projects as a polished, contemporary workplace for a leading investment firm. Optima worked with the project team from specification stage to deliver a high-performance glazing package that supports acoustic privacy, flexible room use and a precise architectural finish, with Dulux Charisma Black Ace powder coating giving the partitions and doors a strong, composed presence across the interior.
A dark, refined glazing language
The Dulux Charisma Black Ace finish gives the glazed elevations a confident, highly controlled appearance. Against the transparency of the glass, the dark metalwork creates a sharp architectural line, bringing definition to meeting rooms and private spaces without making the office feel closed off.
This finish is central to the character of the project. It gives the workplace a more executive quality, aligning the partitioning and doors with the premium nature of the client-facing environment.
Acoustic privacy for a financial workplace
Revolution 100 mullion-free double glazing was used to create enclosed rooms where discretion and acoustic separation were essential. The system provides a clean, uninterrupted glazed appearance while supporting the privacy required for meetings, focused work and confidential conversations.
By using glass rather than solid partitions, the rooms remain visually connected to the wider office. The result is a workplace that feels open and composed, while still meeting the acoustic expectations of a high-performing investment environment.
Flexible thresholds and pocket sliding doors
Edge Symmetry and Elite Affinity doors were set within Microflush frames, creating crisp transitions into the enclosed rooms. Their minimal detailing allows the entrances to sit neatly within the glazed elevations, preserving the calm, precise character of the wider fit-out.
Elite Aero pocket sliding doors and side screens add a more flexible layer to the scheme. By sliding into the wall construction, they reduce the space normally required for a hinged door and allow rooms to shift more easily between private and collaborative use. Together, the systems create a workplace that is polished, adaptable and carefully resolved around the needs of C&D Capital.
