Holcim • North Sydney

A modern, innovative, and fit for purpose workspace in North Sydney

Design & Build • 1,000sqm

Holcim sought to create a modern, innovative, and efficient workplace in North Sydney. PMG was engaged to design and build an office that would reflect Holcim’s new brand identity and support their sustainability objectives, transitioning the workplace into a more modern environment that reflected Holcim’s commitment to building innovation while optimising space efficiencies.

DEFINE

Holcim set four key objectives for the project

Reflect Holcim’s New Brand: The office design needed to embody Holcim’s vision and prominently feature the new infinity logo and colour palette.

Showcase Expertise in Building Innovation: The design should reflect Holcim’s leadership in the construction and building materials industry.

Optimise Space Efficiencies: Efficient use of space was crucial to support collaboration, social gatherings, and focused work.

Support All Work Functions: The office needed to provide environments that cater to various work styles and functions.

DESIGN

Branded Concept

The concept of “Fluid Motion,” inspired by Holcim’s infinity logo, was subtly integrated into the design through curves, materials, and a gradation of colour, creating a dynamic, cohesive visual theme throughout the office.

Destination Workplace

Holcim’s North Sydney office is designed as a destination workplace. The thoughtful design, combined with the new brand integration and a focus on innovation and wellness, makes it a place employees genuinely want to work and spend time in.

Team Connection and Innovation

Thoughtfully placed communal areas and collaboration zones encourage team connection throughout the office, fostering interaction, idea sharing, and teamwork, and reinforcing a strong sense of community. Innovation sits at the heart of the design, with the fluid motion concept and the use of cutting-edge materials and finishes reflecting Holcim’s commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry, so the office itself becomes a demonstration of Holcim’s innovative vision.

Special Design Features

Workstations and shared spaces, including the kitchen and breakout areas, were strategically oriented to maximise the views, enhancing the working environment for staff. The staff kitchen and breakout area were designed as central hubs, serving as focal points for town hall meetings and social gatherings and fostering a sense of community among employees.

DELIVER

Sustainability shaped the delivery approach as much as the design. Existing furniture, partitions, and ceilings were reused wherever possible, minimising costs while supporting Holcim’s sustainability objectives throughout the fitout.

THE OUTCOME

The completed office reflects Holcim’s culture and supports their strategic goals, giving the business an efficient, innovative workplace that Holcim’s Sydney team can work in and enjoy. The fluid motion concept ties the space back to Holcim’s brand at every turn, while the focus on reuse and adaptive design gives the office a sustainability story that runs through its construction as well as its finishes.
