From day one Essence was formed with the objective of being an employee-owned business focused on providing personalised service to improve the built environment. Passionate. Authentic. Human.
From humble beginnings, the business has grown to employ more than 60 people in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. We have attracted great people to work on projects that motivate us to get up in the morning and occasionally keep us all up at night!
Essence is immensely proud of the support and encouragement we have received on our journey – from our industry colleagues, many of our competitors, our clients, our people past and present and importantly their immediate family.
Some of our highlights throughout the year include:
The current NCC falls short in guiding interior design and accessibility for aged care. New design standards will address this align to the Aged Care Quality Standards, ensuring safe, welcoming environments for seniors.
