Branch Studio Architects creates piazza-style school office in Melbourne. Italian town squares became Branch Studio Architects' point of reference for the design of this school administration office in Melbourne, which is almost entirely lined in cardboard tubes.

Caroline Chisholm College is located in Melbourne's Braybrook suburb and had previously played host to a "highly inefficient" administration office that had a rabbit-warren of dark workspaces.

Untouched since the 1970s, several of its rooms were also dated in appearance with lacklustre blue walls and beige Venetian blinds.Branch Studio Architects was brought on board to completely overhaul the office and make it suitable to accommodate the school's accounts and welfare departments, as well as a handful of rooms where staff could hold meetings with students.

At the room's centre is Branch Studio Architects' interpretation of a public monument – a floor-to-ceiling cylindrical pod that's referred to as a "clock tower". Inside there is a small table with a recessed countertop, which has been made to resemble a clock face.
