MKDC were appointed to design a new head office for this State Government Agency Client in the Perth CBD. The design incorporated a new way of working for the 600+ staff undergoing a change management process to migrate from a traditional one-desk-per-person office to a fully agile (ABW) working office.
To support our Client through the change process, MKDC undertook a detailed briefing session with the Executive Leadership team and the various Business Units to ensure we captured all their special operational requirements.
The new office focused on fully integrated technology, which had to work seamlessly to support the ABW. It also incorporated the guiding principles of wellness and the environment, such as containers for change, sustainable materials and finishes, recycled products, and biophilic design, ensuring we achieved the company’s environmental and sustainability goals.
The new environment, a reflection of our future-thinking approach, has multiple facilities, including a wellness room, prayer room, multiple collaboration and focus areas. The fit-out design is futuristic and sustainable, incorporating the companies’ brand and colour palettes. It is easy to navigate and ergonomic, with sit-to-stand desks and numerous meeting and focus rooms. The office is a timeless new home for this future-thinking company.
The executive leadership team were key decision makers about all aspects of the fitout, and MKDC worked with them and the project manager to achieve sign-off at every step of the process.
