THE UNDERSTATED AUSTRALIAN

Their brief to us for their new headquarters in Sydney’s iconic Grosvenor Place was to create a timeless, warm and welcoming workplace

It was vital that that workplace be subtly but uniquely Australian. An important driver was to acknowledge the heritage of the brand and express Aussie’s values of being forward thinking, Australian owned, trusted and welcoming.

The organisation has adopted a new innovative way of working that provides flexibility for their staff. The space consists of Workplace Studios, Client Engagement Space and Social Hubs, as well as an interconnecting stair to encourage movement and connectivity throughout.

It also incorporates flexible client facing spaces that embrace the iconic view and accommodate broker events. Highly collaborative settings and focus spaces, town hall areas and a variety of work settings are included in this very agile work environment.
