Place Futures

Many companies are grappling with balancing the advantages of hybrid working and virtual connectivity with the culture-building and social benefits of physical proximity. Our team is focused on creating high performing workplaces which inspire people to come together, provide rapid community building and cultural download, and support connectivity across the physical and virtual. We’ve worked with customers across Asia Pacific, the US, and Europe, in a diverse range of sectors including Banking and Finance, Telecommunications, Technology, Media and Entertainment, Legal,  and Retail.

Contemporary universities play a unique role in research and innovation, learning and teaching, and engagement with government, businesses and the community. Our approach recognises and celebrates the fact that university precincts are complex ecosystems of multiple stakeholders with diverse needs and drivers. We’ve done precinct briefing at Macquarie University, developed workplace standards for UNSW, and supported the University of Sydney Business School to pilot new ways of working.

The Healthcare sector requires a highly tailored approach to developing workplace strategies for research teams, labs, and hospital environments. Our team has developed a unique approach which considers the diversity of the workforce and their workstyles, specifics of project parameters, and complexity of stakeholder drivers. We’ve supported the development of the workplace for the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network at Randwick and Westmead, Tweed Valley Hospital, Hornsby Kuring-gai Hospital, and Macksville Hospital, as well as several research and laboratory environments including Amgen and the Minderoo Children’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre.

The Government sector is wide and varied. Many of Australian’s largest employers fall into both State and Commonwealth Government sectors, with huge variety in the type of work they carry out, and therefore the workplaces they require. Our team includes members with prior government experience, both state and commonwealth, and understand the nuances and tailored requirements and factors for a successful Government workplace. As a team, we have worked with numerous agencies in Canberra and the states and continue to contribute across Lendlease precinct projects with key government tenants.

The not-for-profit sector is full of incredible talent driven by a sense of meaning, purpose, and values. Our approach involves ensuring this important workforce has access to the resources they need to do their jobs while connecting them with organisational purpose and objectives and celebrating successes. We have worked with several not-for-profits including Reconciliation Australia, Aboriginal Housing Victoria, the Starlight Children’s Foundation, and Common Equity Housing Limited  to achieve great outcomes even within constrained resources.

We believe in the power of place, so we did it to ourselves! We developed the global workplace strategy for our own people, and continue to evolve and refine how we create the best workplaces locally and around the world.  Get in touch to ask us how.
