Australian design studio Thoughtspace have created the new interior design for BBC Worldwide’s office in Sydney, Australia
From Thoughtspace:
BBC Worldwide Australia, at the outset of an immense period of growth and change, co-located two sites into one location in Macquarie Park. Eden Park is the perfect fit for both the expanding organisation and proximity to the evolving North Ryde media/technology hub. BBC Worldwide's new office boasts a large expanse of office-free open plan environment peppered with working lounges and alternative work areas.
Thoughtspace worked with the marketing and communications team to develop a design strategy for the new facility. These brainstorming sessions resulted in a primary design driver which celebrates BBC Worldwide's identity as a media company. It evokes the look and feel of the company's global offices yet effortlessly embodies its unique Australian identity. It brings to life the company's key global brands such as Top Gear, Doctor Who, Dancing with the Stars and BBC Worldwide's local channel brands. BBC Worldwide was committed to incorporating an element of 'fun' into the typical workplace in addition to the functional and professional aspects of the design.
The central kitchen is inspired by the ever popular global brand that is BBC Earth. A striking combination of finishes including natural bamboo timber flooring, hand woven ratten finished for both furniture and lighting teamed with a field of grass sets the tone for the earth inspired space. Furniture selection embraces the concept such as the leaf chairs, pebble ottomans, and striking rattan hanging chairs and lounges. Together this creates the ideal sanctuary for BBC Worldwide to congregate, meet and work.
