SPH were engaged by Rio Tinto (RTIO) through the Sodexo Group to redesign and refurbish 5 x RTIO minesite Dining and Kitchen Areas. The brief was to formulate a “Rio Tinto design aesthetic” for their current minesites in need of an upgrade/expansion and new sites into the future. The multi-disciplinary team (Architecture, Electrical, Mechanical, Hydraulics and Kitchen design specialist expertise) worked together with RTIO and Sodexo towards a ”Look and Feel” which was more a bar/café vibe than an expansive dining room.
RTIO enthusiastically embraced the SPH-created “Look and Feel” with its modern, inviting and comfortable spaces for workers to retreat after a long day’s work away from home.
