They’re some of the world’s most loved snacking brands, and now Mondelez International staff love its new South Melbourne office too – a move that maximises assets and unites the team in
one central location.
BECA’s initial design introduced new ways of working with a greater emphasis on technology, collaboration and flexibility. As a Design and Construct (D&C) project for Schiavello Construction VIC, the team liaised closely with all stakeholders to make preliminary concepts a reality.
All aspects developed and constructed with staff input
Glazed meeting rooms, brand-themed spaces, partitions, concrete flooring, and joinery – alongside a new kitchen and breakout areas – were all developed and constructed with staff input ensuring optimal functionality.
Schiavello workstations and furniture were strategically introduced to support the flexible workspace - balancing individual work points with areas for retreat. Centric workstations were adopted for their strength and malleability while Krossi workstations provide a hot-desk alternative for moving employees. Modified Kayt Hutch’s and Kayt Quiet’s also offer a quiet place for collaboration amongst the open environment.
Vibrant furniture by Schiavello Systems
Colourful furniture was also used to enhance the fun design and branding. Staff can relax amongst bright Blom chairs and coffee tables, while the likes of a purple Bomba sofa identifies with brands such as Cadbury.
“Communication was critical to the project’s success. Schiavello guided us through intensive construction processes which provided a high level of assurance, transparency, clarity and ultimately high-quality outcomes,” says Darren van Roon, Office Services, Mondelez International.
