Cbus's transformation reflected their identity as an "empowered" organisation committed to speaking plain English and staying connected to their members. Through extensive consultation including focus groups and surveys, we developed an organic workplace that celebrates their construction industry heritage. The design features a 1km wellness circulation route across five floors, adaptive environments that boost productivity, and materials inspired by the construction sector they serve.
Member Connection Through Design
The design creates physical storytelling opportunities where Cbus's history, models, and values are naturally displayed throughout "the flow" and "the walk." Vertical circulation connects floors whilst reinforcing connection to their member community.
"Being simple to use ('talking plain English'), flexible, adaptable, not ostentatious, responsible and connected to the members were key project objectives."
