A unique space formulated for Deloitte and its staff, hybrid work is central to the design response. Eco-friendly materials and plants feature prominently, while also boosting air quality and contriving a connection with nature as the space targets 6 Green Star and Platinum WELL certifications.

The 14-floor space features bookable hybrid meeting rooms which were favoured over private offices. Workstations are also bookable via the AppSpace app.
The entire space is imagined as a series of vertical villages, with each catering to the diverse work styles, roles, personalities and preferences within the Deloitte community. Teams are assigned to a village as their base camp, rather than a floor to allow flexibility and promote movement.

The three lower villages mimic the natural environment of a number of Sydney haunts, including the Botanic Gardens and Bondi. The upper village is dedicated to client engagement, designed to convey increasing levels of formality and Sydney’s attributes as a global city.
