FromHereOn | Connected Homes Projects

BARRANGAROO, NSW

AWARD WINNING INNOVATION STUDIO

With a purpose of helping their clients realise ambitious possibilities to innovate and stay ahead of the competition, it was imperative the space reflected this in its entirety while maintaining humanised warmth. Easily mistaken for a beautiful bar or lounge, FromHereOn is a sophisticated and refined space with high level detailing and furnishings to reflect the brand and resonated with the values and work they create.

PROJECT BRIEF

FromHereOn wanted their new premises in Sydney to be a working environment that goes beyond activity-based working and co-work. To create a new kind of environment that celebrates the workplace as a space to be enjoyed and invested in – as much as we invest in our own homes. They wanted it to feel like the home of work – where they can spend time with colleagues and clients to solve problems and deliver projects and also enjoy the experience of working with real people whom they respect, admire and love. It also had to be a compelling back-to-base proposition for their consultants who spend most of their time working on client site. It had to be a venue with soul and promise.

DESIGN CHALLENGE

Because the building is a heritage 1 listed building, the greatest challenge came from the physical, structural design of the space; not a single screw could be drilled into the existing sandstone structure which meant we had to consider carefully how we would deliver the AV solution.

FromHereOn houses a large number of consultants, most of which projected a strong need for highly collaborative spaces. It was important to find a happy medium between energising creative flow and focussed development work.
