THE STORY

The new Red Hat office is a mix of a refurbishment of the existing office and a fresh design approach, reflecting the idea of bringing the outdoors inside.

A large green wall at the visitor entry creates a warm, welcoming experience, accentuated with brand colours and graphics, while the secondary entrance, used mainly by the staff, opens into a vibrant collaboration space treated with greens and natural textures. This collab space splits the office into neighbourhoods, each equipped with phone booths, enclaves, and conference rooms of their own. Bespoke lockers with planters, a palette of natural materials, and ergonomic furniture enhance employee wellbeing, and increasing productivity.

The heart of the space is the pantry that connects Red Hatters on two levels with a communication staircase. Environmental and branding graphic design breathes life into the whole space with the spirit of Red Hat's culture blended with the essence of the local Aboriginal art.
