Spaceful National Headquarters – Sydney
Spaceful created its headquarters in Sydney with a design that integrates sustainability, advanced technologies, and Spaceful’s brand palette, offering a dynamic, empowering workspace with innovative features and flexibility.
To support the growing team, Spaceful created its very own National Headquarters in Sydney by undertaking the very same process we carry out for our clients: Workplace Strategy, Property, Design and Delivery.
Backed by our data-driven strategy, Spaceful identified a prime location in Sydney’s CBD to create a fit-out that integrates sustainable design, cutting-edge technologies, and redefines traditional workplace models. The result is a dynamic environment designed to empower the team to perform at their best.
The design draws inspiration from the Spaceful brand, incorporating its signature palette throughout the space while subtly referencing the ‘S’ monogram. The monogram is thoughtfully integrated into key features, such as the glass-brick client bar and a bespoke sofa, both custom-crafted in the ‘S’ shape, as well as the boardroom’s acoustic feature ceiling. The brand’s palette is further reflected in the use of plaster, glass, and wood textures throughout the space.
As guests step onto the 11th floor, they are welcomed by an impressive reception area. This space serves as a multi-purpose venue for events, company meetings and client presentations. An inverted radiating glass-brick client bar, a bronze powder-coated circular ceiling feature, and a substantial 4200mm x 2000mm curved AV screen sets the tone of a premium space. The curved, interactive screen is crafted to enhance events and client presentations, offering a comprehensive, life-sized visual experiences of Spaceful ‘s workplace projects. When not in use for these occurrences, the screen transforms into an immersive art display, amplifying the space’s ‘wow’ factor and creating a captivating visual experience.
The Design Hub—a custom library for swatches, samples, and design elements—is strategically positioned near natural light and is enhanced by a ceiling-mounted lightbox that creates a cool-white ambiance, providing the perfect lighting for evaluating colours and samples.
Emphasising workplace flexibility, the space offers a diverse range of work areas designed with diversity, equity, inclusion, and workplace wellness at the forefront. A wellness room with fluted glass panelling serves as a retreat for staff to rejuvenate, while biophilia is integrated throughout the workspace to strengthen the connection between nature and wellness.
Innovative technologies are incorporated throughout the space, including:
• A circadian lighting system that offers advanced data analysis capabilities, such as occupancy, noise levels, CO2 concentrations, temperature, and light usage.
• Desk and room booking systems that enhance efficiency and utilisation with features like auto room release and ‘no-show’ tracking.
• The latest Logitech Sight camera in the boardroom, which elevates virtual collaboration by using AI to seamlessly frame multiple participants in the room.
• Interactive whiteboard screens in the Design Hub and touch-down area, facilitating dynamic brainstorming sessions between the two spaces.
• A signature scent released from the vents, enhancing the atmosphere while sanitising the air to create an immersive sensory experience.Spaceful, in conjunction with the building management team, conducted a comprehensive Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) peer review of the fit out design to ensure that it aligned with the base building’s impressive 5 Star Green Star and NABERS certification.
