This workplace project for Pernod Ricard was to create an inspirational, uniquely Australian office space in Sydney that meets the changing demands of a hybrid working culture, with a focus on wellness and collaborative spaces that help achieve the company's growth strategy. In line with their egalitarian ethos, Pernod Ricard wanted a working environment that promotes equal opportunity for all employees, which we designed to fit within their 700sqm office space in William Street.

Our concept was hinged heavily on place and diversity. We aimed to reflect Woolloomooloo and its rich First Nation history, with the original place name translating to 'young male kangaroo.' We avoided being cheesy with the kangaroo concept by looking into their movement patterns, their connection in a mob, and their importance to First Nation culture and our nation as a whole. The Australian landscape was a significant inspiration for our concept, with the colors of the kangaroo in its native environment serving as our Dulux color palette, based on a desert palette.
