Penrite Oil
Penrite Oil Company is a privately owned Australian lubricants company established in 1926.
Project Background
Penrite Oil needed a safe, functional office space after reallocating areas for bulk storage. Heighton designed a standalone office outside the main building, improving safety, noise control, and compliance while optimizing warehouse space for operational growth.
The Challenge
Penrite Oil faced a space shortage within their warehouse as the existing areas allocated for production and staff were required to be converted for bulk storage. The lack of dedicated office space created challenges in accommodating employees, while also raising safety concerns due to the proximity of staff to flammable materials stored in the warehouse. A solution was needed to create a safe, functional, and compliant workspace for the team without compromising the operational requirements for storage.
The Solution
The newly constructed office space has successfully met Penrite Oil’s requirements for a safer and more efficient working environment. The separate office area offers noise suppression, improving the quality of the workspace, and is located at a safe distance from the warehouse’s flammable materials. This separation not only enhances safety but also aligns with compliance standards for storing hazardous substances. With the additional space and improved layout, Penrite Oil is better positioned to support both current operations and future growth.
The Results
A state of the art, modern and well-planned office design that will impress clients and create the right atmosphere for progress and prosperity.
