Davenport Campbell is proud to have designed this global tech company’s Melbourne HQ in the iconic 555 Collins Street precinct.

The 9,000sqm workplace celebrates the diversity of Melbourne and its people, captured in the concept of a ‘Melbourne Playlist’. Each floor celebrates the eclectic nature of Melbourne’s art, fashion, music, travel and food.

The workplace is designed to support agile ways of working, featuring dedicated client floors, a town hall with tiered seating, and a dog park with a view.

We were thrilled to collaborate on creating a dynamic and authentic workplace that reflects the leadership values of the organisation.

Authenticity

The success of this Melbourne headquarters rests upon the seamless integration of their Future of Work principles. Davenport Campbell developed a series of pilot spaces that offered invaluable insights and lessons, and paved the way for an innovative and inspiring environment.

Variety and choice serve as the foundations of our design, empowering employees to work in settings that suit their needs.

Beyond functional needs, the workplace design encourages team spirit and collaboration through a series of social spaces that are vibrant and culturally relevant, reflecting the business and culture of the global tech company.

Connection and Colour

Designed with the wellbeing and social needs of this global tech company’s team at its core, we designed vibrant social spaces to encourage collaboration and connection, including a generous terrace, a games room, and an integrated dog park.

This mix of fun-filled and relaxing environments creates opportunities for employees to recharge and connect.

In a world of increasingly distributed workforces, we are proud to have created built environments that bring people together in spaces that are exciting, and that promote social gathering and wellness.

Graphics+Signage: A Love letter to Melbourne

With over 75 original designs created by our graphics and signage team, the environmental graphics for this Melbourne workplace were an exciting project of their own, united by a colour palette that is integrated with interiors.

The playful graphics brought to life the eclectic theme of the ‘Melbourne Playlist’, taking inspiration from the montage layouts of zines.

Our signage package implemented the company’s Global Standards across six floors, including over 1,500 items of wayfinding and identification signage, which were customised for each location.

The global tech company’s leadership principles are highlighted throughout the space with illustration and typography to engage and inspire both team members and visitors alike.
