What makes @technearchitects in #Melbourne a great place to work?..#Physicalstudioenvironment – The 35-strong office, which mainly works on hospitality space like restaurants and bars, was established 16 years ago and has grown every year since. As a result the practice recently relocated from Melbourne’s CBD to Carlton, an recent write-up on the move imagined that it makes ‘getting up and going to work every day a little sweeter’. The office undertook a survey to see how they could make a space their office staff wanted, coming up with a flexible design to attract, entice and retain exceptional people. ..#Learningandevelopment- The studio structures itself around three values. The first – “align-purpose” – is about the goals of the practice and the goals of those who work for it. “We are all working towards a common goal”, says Travers. The practice’s crafted and high-quality projects fall under the second value – “bespoke delivery”, while the third “enabling creativity” is based upon pursuing a creative environment where good design is the primary objective. ..#Companyculture- Both founders came from commercial practices before establishing Techne, but here they have managed to maintain a business which isn’t top down, which has a strong collaborative and social culture flowing through it, where everyone feels they can contribute. ..#IndustryRecognition- Techne have amassed a seriousreputation for their work in the hospitality and commercial sectors, check out their Instagram for all their recent awards and shortlists, including multiple projects for the 2019 Restaurant and Bar Design Awards...#Benefits – An in-house ping pong table and a furry- friendly Wellbeing Officer called Millie!
What makes @coxarchitecture #sydney a great place to work?..#PhysicalStudioEnvironment - The practice, which employees around 160 architects, graphic designers, interior designers, visualizers, and planners, is located in a 1930s brick building that used to be Sydney’s blood bank and is full of Art Deco-style features. It is a symbol of #Cox – a practice which has focused on regeneration since the 1960s.#ProjectDiversity - Within the office, staff are split into six design clusters with each run by a director supported by associates. Of these six clusters, four are architectural while one focuses on urban design and planning and another on interiors. “This creates smaller design studios within the wider studio. People and projects can move from one cluster to another but it is a good way to create a studio ethos within the bigger practice”, comments director Ramin Jahromi. He adds: “We try to ensure that any project can be taken from the start to the end within that cluster, so every design cluster has a good senior designers, urban designers, site architect, design architects, a student, a visualizer, also people who are good at competitions. Every cluster has all the skills needed to deliver a project from start to finish. When people work well together they should be kept together and projects taken to them.”#CompanyCulture - Inside, the staff are spread across a single floorplate where collaboration spaces and a town hall-like area bring everyone together for lunch times , meetings, drawing sessions, presentations and Friday night talks and drinks. The central space acts as a hub or a living room for the large office. It is used by universities and the local design institute for talks and lectures and it even has a space for developing VR modelling, which the practice found it was using so much it needed to be moved away from the desk space where it had previously been located.
