3 leading examples of workplaces of the future

In a post-Covid world, workplaces have shifted away from simply needing to be spaces. With a focus on supporting flexible work, offering teams more diversity of the spaces and catering to multiple work modes, the need for a workplaces to evolve is more important than ever.

When looking for insight and inspiration on what a leading workplace of the future requires, here we have rounded up three of spaces that turn work into something more.

1. Slattery

With a global shift in the workplace post-pandemic, Slattery sought a new working environment that had a less corporate feel to traditional offices.

The result is a kinetic environment that represents a step away from bright lights and assigned seating, combining the aesthetics of an art gallery and the luxury of a five-star hotel with the comforts of home – including a library, full-service kitchen and lounge.

“Our brief was simple – to create a workplace that prioritises our people. We want our people to feel valued each day, and for their individual workstyles to be accommodated and appreciated,” says Sarah Slattery, Chief Executive Officer at Slattery.

2. Deloitte

Hassell’s vision for Deloitte’s new home in QQT was to create a space as iconic as its impressive Sydney Harbour and wider city surrounds, that speaks to Deloitte’s commitment to making an impact for their clients and an investment in developing its people.

Above all, it was to be a place where people connect and work seamlessly, empowered to deliver excellence. A place that instills confidence and pride where people can imagine the future and collaborate to create it.

Built by MPA, the ingenious workplace centres around innovation and ingenuity and draws on Deloitte’s local and global presence. With four destinations over the 14 floors, each “village” has a unique experience that speaks to the diverse work styles that make up Deloitte, with a name a visual identity to suit, all aimed fostering a sense of community, while respecting the needs of individuals and teams.

3. Transurban

As you journey through Transurban's workplace it includes a staircase, steel structural elements, large freestanding meeting pods built in a double-height space and a new terrace.

Complete with high-end finishes, you’d be forgiven for thinking you are in a contemporary hotel or gallery space

With workplaces in multiple states, the Sydney market is important for the business with a number of external partnerships formed in this region. This created a need for more external-facing areas, meeting rooms and a focus on the client experience. The client also wanted to create an exceptional employee experience and amenity.

There are multiple bespoke elements to the space, including an elevated lighting feature “Veil” surrounding the pods and custom double-height raked concrete renders. Transurban also had a high focus on AV to ensure the space is interactive and seamlessly integrates with the architectural elements, including the installation of workplace systems and custom video ceiling- and wall-screen panels.
