ANZ Gallery
"It felt like a true partnership, and we get lots of comments from people about the space. So to me, that's the definition of success," says ANZ CEO Shayne Elliott.
Following the success of the award-winning ANZ Global Headquarters Level 10 redevelopment, Foolscap were hand-picked to undertake the ANZ Gallery.
Foolscap uncovered an under-utilised back of house space and transformed this into a cultural hub showcasing the bank’s significant art collection.
The gallery is a unique entertaining space for ANZ to host their team and clients - transporting visitors into a world away from the workplace.
The gallery presents rotating exhibitions and events on show for employees and clients, acting as a connective platform for culture, collaborating, and storytelling and reinforcing ANZ’s progressive ethos.
We chose to partner with Foolscap because we were impressed with their vision and their ability to articulate that in a very cultural way.
They nailed it completely. It was a great process; a great project we’re very proud of.

Salvaged travertine and stone was re-used throughout the project to create custom-made terrazzo plinths and counters.
"The purpose-built gallery acts as an unexpected yet complementary addition to the Docklands campus.
It stands as a counterpoint to executive, board, client, and staff activity across the ‘Open House’ multi-program masterplan designed by Foolscap.
With the project as a whole seeking to mediate work, social, and hospitality needs, the gallery is a fully curated space celebrating ANZ’s collection."
