Harcourts Elevate Arundel

Located in the heart of Arundel on Queensland’s Gold Coast, Harcourts Elevate has undergone a striking transformation into a functional, brand-aligned workspace. This commercial office fitout was carried out by the expert team at Total Fitouts Gold Coast Central, with commercial design led by Lehmann Design. The result is a seamless integration of modern styling, smart spatial planning, and clear brand alignment — perfectly suited to a high-performing real estate office.

With Harcourts’ growing team and increasing demand for dynamic client interaction, the brief was clear: deliver a contemporary workspace that reflects Harcourts’ identity while improving workflow, comfort, and client engagement. The refreshed office in Arundel needed to serve both staff and customers with equal finesse.

Reception: A Premium First Impression

The commercial design of Harcourts offers a sleek and modern look with a neutral base palette of matte black, grey, and stone, softened by warm timber accents and elevated through subtle touches of brass detailing.

The reception within the commercial office fitout is where the Harcourts brand immediately comes to life. It’s sophisticated, professional, and unmistakably on-brand. Set against a textured stone-look wall, the Harcourts logo is prominently displayed in 3D lettering — bold navy for “Harcourts” and soft blue for “Elevate,” echoing the real estate brand’s identity with clarity and strength.

Cassandra Lehmann, head designer at Lehmann Design, says, “The custom reception counter, finished in ribbed black panelling with a curved design, brings a sense of movement and refinement. Above, contemporary pendant lighting adds a warm glow and focal interest, drawing the eye to the front desk.”

The overall palette — matte black, stone grey, and timber accents — establishes a strong foundation for the visual language used throughout the office.

A minimal but comfortable waiting area features two mid-century-inspired armchairs and a glass coffee table, creating an inviting space for clients.

“It balances professionalism with approachability, setting the tone for the Harcourts experience.”

Meeting Rooms: Professional and Inviting

Directly adjacent to the reception sits the main boardroom, enclosed by floor-to-ceiling black-framed glass partitions. These transparent walls maintain visual connectivity with the rest of the commercial office fitout, while offering acoustic privacy during meetings and presentations.

Inside, the boardroom features a long timber table surrounded by modern tan leather meeting chairs — a nod to Harcourts’ accent colour of orange.

Cassandra continues, “A statement light fixture, suspended above the table, introduces sculptural interest and creates an elegant focal point. Wall-mounted screens enhance functionality for presentations and virtual calls, supporting both internal collaboration and client meetings.”

This commercial fitout encapsulates the office’s dual nature: sleek enough to host high-end clientele, and practical enough for everyday team discussions.

Workstations: Functionality Meets Style

The open-plan workstation area has been optimised for efficiency and comfort. Long timber desks with black metal framing and light grey acoustic desk dividers provide the foundation for productive workspaces.

Cassandra adds, “Ergonomic black mesh chairs were chosen to complete the setting, giving staff the support they need in a fast-paced office environment.”

Subtle branding appears again on the far wall, where the slogan “Elevate Your Mind. Elevate Your Results.” is applied in a layered, dimensional style. This statement wall — backed by a vertical black timber cladding — is both visually compelling and deeply on-brand, reinforcing the company’s aspirational message.

“Behind the desks, a full wall of matte grey cabinetry offers ample storage, integrated work zones, and a concealed utility nook. A thin brass detail line runs horizontally across the cabinetry, offering a refined, high-end touch while breaking up the monochrome surface with understated luxury.”

The consistent use of premium finishes — matte grey, timber, brass, and black vertical slats — adds cohesion across all spaces within the commercial office fitout.

Private Office: Warmth and Sophistication

In addition to the open-plan workstations and boardroom, the commercial office fitout includes private offices for management or client consultations. These rooms follow the same palette, but with slight enhancements that bring added warmth and elegance.

Cassandra says, “Each private office features vertical black timber wall panels on one side and warm timber veneer panelling on the other, segmented with fine brass inlay lines. Custom built-in storage in matte charcoal with black handles keeps the space tidy, while a timber desk anchors the room in practicality.”

Seating here is plush yet simple: orange leather guest chairs are paired with a black ergonomic task chair, maintaining the visual rhythm established throughout the office.

The use of black-framed sliding glass doors with fluted glass provides visual privacy while still allowing light transmission, preserving the bright and airy feeling of the overall workspace.

Consistent Branding and Visual Identity

Every element of this commercial office fitout reinforces Harcourts’ brand identity. The consistent use of the brand’s core colours — black, navy, and blue — is supported by warm neutral tones and subtle orange accents in the furniture. This colour layering creates a rich but balanced environment that feels tailored, cohesive, and current.

More than a visual match, the space is designed around functionality, privacy, and professionalism. The layout supports natural workflows, with clearly defined zones for client interaction, collaboration, and individual focus.

The Result: A Space That Elevates

With this Arundel office, Harcourts Elevate now has a physical space that reflects its name — designed to elevate every experience, from client meetings to daily team operations.

Thanks to the collaboration between Lehmann Design and the experienced shopfitters at Total Fitouts Gold Coast Central, the office stands as a benchmark in modern real estate fitouts.
