Navitas Curtin College sits within Curtin Exchange, home to student housing, retail and a hotel. Castledex partnered with Spectrum West to deliver a turn-key FF&E solution that shaped a modern, student-focused learning environment.
What Spectrum West and Curtin College needed.
The project required a cost-effective, high-quality fitout that aligned with the client’s design intent while accommodating COVID-era supply constraints. Flexibility, coordination, and design integrity were key.
How we acted on what we heard.
Castledex worked closely with Spectrum West to develop a value-engineered solution that met all stakeholder requirements without compromising on aesthetic or function. By adapting product selections and sourcing strategies, we helped manage costs in a volatile market.
Key highlights included:
- Full Turn-Key Fitout: Over 2,000 pieces of furniture, including whitegoods, joinery seating, and acoustic wall features.
- Efficient Programme Delivery: Multiple install teams coordinated across four floors to meet a six-week deadline.
- Colour-Matched Acoustic Panels: Careful attention was given to aligning acoustic wall treatments with adjacent furniture and joinery.
- Partner Brand Integration: Featured products from Four-Design, Arko, and SBW delivered elevated design outcomes in key zones.
Inspired results
Castledex successfully delivered:
- A fully coordinated fitout across furniture, fixtures, and finishes
- Streamlined install in a live, multi-use campus development
- A visually cohesive and acoustically balanced student space
The result is a contemporary and engaging campus hub that sets a new benchmark for learning environments in Western Australia’s tertiary sector.
