When McGrath Real Estate, a prestigious name in residential, waterfront, and rural real estate on the Sunshine Coast, sought to design their latest office fitout in Mooloolaba, they enlisted the expertise of Total Fitouts. Known for their exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design solutions, Total Fitouts was the perfect partner to bring McGrath’s vision to life.
The goal was clear: McGrath desired an office fitout that would reflect their high-end service and match the scenic beauty of their canal-side location. They envisioned a modern space infused with a nautical theme, incorporating the warmth of soft timbers and natural textures to create an inviting yet sophisticated environment. The challenge was to harmonise these elements into a contemporary design that would appeal to their discerning clientele and set a new standard for their office spaces.
From the outset, Total Fitouts collaborated closely with McGrath to understand their specific needs and aspirations. The fitout design process began with detailed consultations to ensure that every aspect of the fitout aligned with McGrath’s brand identity and operational requirements. This close collaboration was crucial in translating McGrath’s vision into a tangible, functional, and aesthetically pleasing office space.
One of the key design elements chosen for the office fitout was the colour scheme. Dark teal and light grey accents were selected to evoke a sense of calm and sophistication while resonating with the coastal theme. Dark teal, reminiscent of deep ocean hues, provides a rich, grounding effect, while light grey adds a modern touch and enhances the space’s brightness. This colour palette was carefully integrated into various elements of the office fitout, including walls, furnishings, and decorative accents, to create a cohesive and stylish environment.

The space features a clean, modern showroom layout that emphasises open, flexible work areas and inviting client meeting spaces. The use of soft timbers and natural textures throughout the office adds warmth and a touch of nautical charm, creating a serene atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the sleek, contemporary finishes.
To enhance the nautical theme, the Total Fitouts team incorporated natural materials such as timber panels and textured finishes. These elements not only add visual interest but also help to connect the interior design with the exterior environment, making the office feel like a seamless extension of its canal-side location. The timber finishes are complemented by elegant metal fixtures and fittings, which add a modern edge and contribute to the overall high-end aesthetic of the space.
The fitout design also pays careful attention to the office’s views and natural light. Large windows offer stunning views of the canal, and the interior design ensures that these vistas are framed beautifully from various vantage points within the office. The strategic placement of workstations and meeting areas maximises the natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere that enhances the overall workspace experience.
One of the standout features of the fitout is the custom-designed reception area. This office space is designed to make a strong first impression on clients and visitors. The reception desk, crafted from high-quality materials, serves as a focal point and embodies the modern nautical theme. Soft timber paneling and subtle lighting create a welcoming ambiance, while the carefully selected furnishings ensure that the space is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The client meeting rooms are another highlight of the office fitout. These rooms are designed to provide a professional yet comfortable setting for discussions and presentations. High-end finishes, ergonomic furniture, and state-of-the-art technology ensure that the meeting rooms are equipped to handle all client interactions with ease and sophistication. The design of these rooms also incorporates elements of the nautical theme, such as nautical-inspired artwork and subtle maritime motifs, to reinforce the overall aesthetic.
Throughout the fitout process, Total Fitouts faced several challenges, particularly with managing the project timeline and coordinating with suppliers. The busy holiday period and various supplier trades and shutdowns required careful planning and flexibility. However, the experienced team at Total Fitouts navigated these challenges with professionalism and efficiency, ensuring that the project stayed on track and was completed to the highest standards.
The final result is a remarkable office space that not only meets McGrath’s current needs but is also designed to adapt and evolve with the company’s growth. The thoughtful integration of modern design elements with nautical themes creates a unique and memorable environment that sets McGrath apart from their competitors. The office space is now a showcase of high-end design, functionality, and coastal charm, making it an ideal setting for engaging with clients and conducting business.
