Workroom is a studio specialising in contemporary design and interiors in the commercial, retail, residential, industrial and hospitality sectors.Each project is a feat of design and engineering, a delicate balance between aesthetics and function.
Workroom architectural studio John Bornas and his partner Jo-Anne Gleeson founded 1999 with the simple intention of ‘making beautiful what would otherwise be mundane’， finding elegant solutions to complex architectural problems.
John, who was born in Argentina before moving to Australia at an early age, did not initially gravitate toward architecture. Whilst trying to find enjoyment in his studies of mathematics and philosophy, he discovered architecture and never looked back.
Workroom’s designs are timeless, created as an elegant expression of the personality of the client, rather than a design driven by trend.While ‘timeless’ is the key word when discussing Workroom’s design, over 20 years John has seen technology develop and become more accessible. He sees sustainable design as irreducible from good architecture.
