The document discusses design considerations for the new BBC office in Australia. It envisions a space that promotes creativity, collaboration, and innovation in line with the BBC brand. The office should have a modern warehouse-style feel while also being comfortable. It needs various zones for quiet work, meetings, and socializing alongside the latest technology. Meeting rooms should be functional yet comfortable. The goal is to create an impressive, inspiring and envy-inducing space that staff never want to leave and visitors are impressed by.

1. THE
HOME
OF
BBC
ANZ

2. The
BBC
office
in
Australia
should
be
a
space
that
oozes
crea7vity
and
encourages
community
and
collabora7on
amongst
its
staff.
We
envisage
a
warehouse/crea7ve
agency/digital
style
reflec7ve
of
the
innova7on,
crea7vity
and
global
essence
of
the
BBC
brand.
It
should
be
‘cool’,
contemporary
and
professional.
And
impressive
from
the
front
door…
maybe
a
surprise,
something
unexpected
on
entry?
It
needs
to
combine
the
hard
with
the
soJ
–
polished
concrete
with
the
warmth
of
recycled
wood
and
clever
ligh7ng
that
creates
mood
and
ambience.
It
needs
to
incorporate
the
latest
technology
throughout
with
zoned
areas
for
quiet,
passionate
brainstorming,
corporate
presenta7ons
and
play.
Mee7ng
rooms
will
work
at
the
touch
of
the
buOon,
are
uncluOered,
func7onal
and
comfortable
to
sit
for
long
periods
Lounge
areas
for
discussion
and
relaxa7on,
tables
for
group
mee7ngs
and
stand
up
benches
are
scaOered
throughout
in
addi7on
to
a
dedicated
social
zone.
It
should
be
minimalist,
spacious
and
have
scale
without
feeling
cavernous
It
needs
to
be
edgy,
but
it
needs
to
be
comfortable.
It
needs
to
be
designed
but
have
longevity
and
won’t
date
–
neutrals
with
pops
of
colour
We
want
visitors
to
BBC
envious
and
staff
never
want
to
leave!
We
want
to
make
a
statement.
