Hub Australia Boardroom AV Fit‑out | Nine The Esplanade

Background

Nine The Esplanade is a newly completed commercial tower in Perth’s Elizabeth Quay precinct, developed by Multiplex. The building offers A‑Grade office space with sweeping river views. As part of its tenancy, coworking provider Hub Australia planned a 15‑seat boardroom that could host everything from investor briefings to video conferences. Electrical contractor Everett‑Smith & Co. brought in FocusAV to design and deliver the audiovisual package within a tight construction schedule.

Challenges

The boardroom needed to support both face‑to‑face and hybrid meetings without adding complexity for users. Picture, sound and connectivity all had to perform reliably, while equipment had to blend with the room’s clean interior and meet the building’s handover dates.

The Solution

FocusAV installed an 86‑inch Philips Q‑Series 4K display on a slim pop‑out mount, paired with a Logitech Rally Bar, three ceiling‑mounted Rally Mic Pods, and a Tap IP touch panel for one‑touch control. Crestron DM Lite transmitters/receivers and Icron USB extenders manage cabled inputs, and an AirMedia 3200 gateway enables wireless sharing. The result is straightforward connectivity for any laptop or device, with clear audio coverage across the entire table.

Results

Meetings now start in seconds, remote participants hear and see the room clearly, and the equipment sits neatly within the minimalist fit‑out. The project finished on programme, allowing Hub Australia to welcome members on the building’s opening day.

Client Feedback

Working alongside Hub Australia and Everett‑Smith & Co. on such a prominent project was rewarding. Early coordination meant cable routes, mounting points and programming were ready ahead of time, letting us focus on fine‑tuning the user experience. Seeing the boardroom run smoothly against the Elizabeth Quay backdrop capped off the job for us.

This was a great opportunity to deliver a high-performance space in one of Perth’s most talked-about new buildings. Huge thanks to Everett-Smith & Co. for bringing us on board, and to both Multiplex and Hub Australia for their collaboration throughout the process. We’re proud to have played a part in such a well-executed project.
