Fuelled Energy Office Lounge
This project was rooted in the idea of transformation, creating a space that feels entirely separate from the everyday work environment. Entered through an unassuming “pop machine” set within the main office, the lounge reveals itself as a hidden, immersive experience designed to surprise and engage from the moment you step inside.
Inspired by the colourful chaos and energy of Tokyo at night, the design leans into bold contrast, layered expression, and saturated colour. Much like the neon streets that informed it, each element competes for attention while still holding its own, creating a space that feels dynamic, alive, and intentionally unrestrained.
At the centre of the lounge, a custom mural by artist Reagan McLean anchors the room. The tiger motif, introduced early in the concept phase, became a defining element, reflecting the culture of Fuelled and reinforcing the sense of energy and movement throughout the space and culture of the company.
In contrast to the bold intensity of the lounge, the experience shifts entirely at the backside of the laptop bar, through a second hidden door, where a sauna and wellness space introduces a completely different atmosphere. Here, a palette of soft white and warm cedar creates a sense of calm, quiet, and restoration.
The transition between these two spaces was intentional, offering both energy and escape within a single environment.
This project is a reflection of what can happen when creativity is given the space to expand, where design moves beyond function and becomes something to be felt.
