The state-of-the-art new Kane Constructions and arete Australia corporate headquarters located at 510 Church Street, Cremorne encompasses an entire floor spanning 1395m2, with additional outdoor terraces. The class 5 office features east and west balconies and is serviced by an exclusive Level 9 lift which was installed as a part of the fitout.
The project was delivered under a design and construct contract model, derived from a comprehensive four-week stakeholder engagement phase to ensure the new workspace reflected the history and future of the business. Kane had active involvement in all aspects of planning, design and detailing, and collaborated closely with ARM Architecture.
Designed to accommodate 100-plus head office staff, the new workspace doubles as a ‘launch and land’ flexi-space for Kane’s site project teams. In total, over 100 work points include flex desks, focus rooms, dedicated offices, a mix of open-plan office space, private meeting rooms and a generous entertaining area.
Flexible work positions have been designed to offer sit-to-stand, fixed height and standing height desk zones, providing for an agile and ergonomic working setting. All work points are multifunctional and digitally enabled with double screens and docking stations.
Specialist lighting designers Glowing Structures co-created an innovative lighting solution with task and area-based lighting which doubles as a wayfinding device integral to the overall concept.
Services have been intentionally left exposed, not only those in the ceiling but the wrapped pipework running vertically down the face of the naked formed columns, which showcases a vital part of the buildings working DNA.
The fit-out compliments the ten-level, 5 Star Green Star, 5 Star NABERS building which offers a premium working environment for collaboration and partnerships.
Head office staff moved into the new headquarters in June 2022.
