A $1.24 million fit-out for Apple IT management company JAMF located within the iconic CUE Building at 156 Clarence Street was recently completed, delivering a modern and industrial style CBD workspace for the Sydney-based team.
The project spanned over a four-month period and saw 33 staff members relocated from JAMF’s former office space in Northern Sydney.
Russell Kenny, JAMF’s Education Services Manager (Asia Pacific) said the new workspace has enabled an improved alignment between physical space and company culture,
“Our biggest focus for this office was on our staff. We moved from a place that everyone did not enjoy, so we actually wanted our staff to look forward to coming to work.”
JAMF’s new office design was brought together by design firm Bold Collective.
Spanning over 500 square metres, JAMF’s new workplace forms a juxtaposition of contemporary and classical architectural features, providing a modern, flexible workspace.
The open-plan space has been designed to cater to a broad range of uses including shared collaboration zones, a hot desk area, booth seating and a range of meeting spaces. Spaces for meetings include soundproof meeting rooms, private call rooms, a 10-person boardroom and a specialised training centre, designed to support on-going staff and client education.
Industrial elements were integrated into the design to highlight distinctive internal features such as sections of pressed metal and rippled iron in ceilings, original polished timber floors, timber-framed windows and internal brick walls and piers, which were designed to support the new office’s structural exposed steel beams. The industrial-style workspace also features custom pieces and electric furniture, all of which were designed to capture the creativity of JAMF.
As acoustics are critical for JAMF’s business, the new office was designed with a range of quiet spaces in mind, all of which were premeditated with acoustics separation built-in. A ‘hush glass’ was used for all glazed partitioning along with an acoustic plasterboard for the regular partition walls to keep any loud noises at manageable working levels. Acoustic ‘clouds’ and noise-cancelling technology were also installed throughout the open office area.
