Project Scope

Fit-Out
This three-floor fit-out for a high-tech research and development (R&D) office consisted of tinker space, tech labs, prototyping area, car workshop, and garage.
Auto Elements
The first floor holds a driver’s lounge, conference room with LCD wall, storage, car wash, assembly room, and garage with a built-in “car turntable”. The second floor holds a training area and the third floor features a cafe, gaming, and lounge.
RTU Coordination
An RTU install was a challenge due to its size, superstructure layout, and a concurrent solar panel installation (by others). With coordination from all parties, Rycon was able to install the units on schedule, with minimal impact to the solar panel work.
