The Catholic Commission for Employment Relations (CCER) is an advisory body for Catholic employers in NSW and the ACT, providing employers with expert advice, support and training on employment relations and people management matters.
The team at CCER approached us to create a workspace that was not only flexible enough to satisfy a variety of functions for different working patterns, but one that offered transparency and space too.
What we delivered was an inspiring and functional space, based on the modern principles of Activity Based Working.
Features include lockers for private belongings, a combination of fixed workstations, open and closed collaboration spaces and private zones for individual work. A mix of office and home furniture, organic materials and fabrics and a combination of bold and neutral colours were used to respond to the call for a creative, energetic and productive work environment. The choice of colours was crucial for implementing the desired effects and bright bold colours such as yellow, red, green, purple and blue combined with sophisticated neutrals were used to define the different office zones where solid walls were kept to a minimum. Timber floors are flowing up the walls thereby seamlessly building two meeting rooms and creating a stunning vertical connectivity in the center of the office space.
All products and materials were carefully chosen to be sustainable and environmentally friendly. The project was completed within five months from design to hand over.
