Wotif Group operate of some of Australasia’s leading online travel brands. Spanning two floors in a beautiful, heritage listed, Sydney CBD building, the new space was designed to achieve a host of key objectives: To strengthen the social culture of the organisation, to foster greater collaboration, and to promote healthy ways of working. The new space also needed to support the attraction of the industry’s best talent, and allow for future growth.
A sense of discovery, excitement, and adventure is conveyed from the moment you walk into the space. The reception desk is playfully designed to look like stacks of leather suitcases, and a large map of old Sydney creates the backdrop. Inside, a new social hub engages staff with a gathering space for birthday functions, informal presentations, and other events. The workplace is a flexible hybrid of workstations, collaborative hubs and small nooks to foster creativity and connection.
Forge staff led the management of this project including completing a pre-lease building assessment, assisted in negotiation of Wotif’s lease, procured consultants and the main contractor, managed the design, obtained Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and Sydney of City Council Development Approval, prepared and managed the budget and cost reporting and ensured construction went smoothly.
