Connecting the red thread
We’ve created a modern workplace that facilitates collaboration and wellbeing for one of Australia’s biggest financial institutions. In partnership with Woods Bagot architects, we’ve transformed NAB’s office experience across two new state-of-the-art facilities integrating each workplace’s distinct interiors to unite the future of their Sydney Campus.
Joining the future of workplace collaboration
Parramatta Square and Wynyard Place each have a unique identity, interior palettes and complex architectural design, but together they are paving the way for the bank’s future workforce, where over 6000 employees are empowered to choose where, when and how they work in more effective and collaborative ways. Our challenge was to design a signage, graphics and wayfinding system that would not only integrate with each workplace’s distinct interiors but foster meaningful connections – between teams and across both locations.
Connecting people and place
With both buildings home to complex, multi-storey and adaptable layouts, we mapped detailed user journeys to guide our wayfinding and spatial strategy, one that would enable connections between people and place no matter where they chose to walk or work. We looked beyond functional signage and graphics to activate NAB’s boldly open working culture and soon found our stairway to connection – weaving the red thread of each building’s iconic central staircase to unite the two workplaces. From here, we experimented with the colour, form and materiality of Woods Bagot’s interior palette to design a distinct identity for each workplace.
