One Five Vaughan St for Essendon Fields

15 Vaughan Street, VIC

Repositioning 15 Vaughan Street into a modern, market-ready asset

Intermain transformed a vacant three-storey commercial building in Essendon Fields into a contemporary workplace designed to attract high-quality tenants. The 3,500 sqm upgrade blends architectural refinement with practical functionality, enhancing both the building’s street presence and interior experience.

Project scope

The project scope included a full upgrade of the lobby and amenities across all floors, the design and delivery of two speculative suites on Level 1, a staircase refurbishment, and the external re-cladding of entry columns. The result is a cohesive transformation that enhances both the interior experience and the building’s street presence. The new lobby design offers a contemporary and welcoming arrival point, while the re-clad entry columns provide a bold, refreshed façade.

Flexible, light-filled design

Intermain’s design team created flexible speculative suites with open layouts that maximise natural light and minimise built structures along the perimeter. A soft corporate palette of greens, blues and light timber tones is carried throughout, complemented by custom joinery, acoustic hush screens and feature tiling to create a polished, professional environment.

The suites were designed with collaboration in mind, incorporating breakout zones, kitchen facilities and meeting spaces to support a variety of working styles.

Overcoming challenges

The project navigated challenges including an unexpected fire services upgrade and a mid-project change of use on the ground floor. Intermain supported the client through regulatory processes and also delivered a separate fitout for the incoming tenant.

A proven approach to commercial repositioning

This project demonstrates Intermain’s ability to deliver fast, high-quality repositioning works that align with commercial goals and elevate tenant appeal. From design through to delivery, the result is a transformed workplace that positions 15 Vaughan Street for long-term success in the market.
