The Challenge

At Kynd Montessori Learning Centre, the main objective is fostering an exciting learning atmosphere for children. But with the challenges of limited outdoor spaces and a disconnection between areas, it was a difficult task to create a sense of congruency. Kynd needed a fit-out on a limited budget that focused on educational stimulation through structuring whilst maximising the layout of the available space.

1

Design Consultation

Together with Kynd Montessori, we set design objectives that aligned with their educational purpose and branding.


2

Space Planning

We prioritised the combination of inside and outside space available and earthy palette to give Kynd a nature-centric, playful and inviting energy.


3

Construction

We completed Kynd’s fitout in just 5 weeks. We worked methodically to guarantee that we worked in a way that kept the venue accessible and safe for children in the day.

Design Highlights.

In our tailored solution for Kynd, we knew that the large amount of space we had to work with meant there was a plethora of possibilities for educational utilisation. However, we wanted to maxmise the creative energy of the space, so we made a few key decisions.

The venue embraces play by design: the space complements Montessori’s philosophies and experience. Using a combination of customised, premium finishes and furniture, we created a unique fitout. The playground is made of natural materials, making it both sustainable and prime for Montessori learning. Additionally, a high-quality and durable glass lift was installed alongside the finishes and equipment.

We maximised the available area by adding a mezzanine floor and expanded the outdoor area further by removing a portion of the roof. A large welcoming tree – that rises to the upper level – was placed in the outdoor area. Kynd Montessori’s dedication to being a nurturing environment’s natural flow had been refreshed by our fitout.

Welcoming Tree

The striking insertion of the tree in the middle of the room creates a pleasantly surprising entrance to new and current visitors alike.

Brand Decal

Mezzanine Floor

The addition of a mezzanine floor not only reimagined the space but increased it.

Modern Classroom

Non-Toxic Play Area

Atrium Lighting

The Challenge

One of the challenges Office Fitout Group encountered was creating impact and fun, collaborative workspaces without compromising on practicality, aesthetics and enclosing the space.

Our main priority was to create a modern, stylish, fun and inspiring workspace whilst increasing practicality and layout efficiency whilst keeping budget, time planning and each section’s purpose in mind.

Design Consultation

Aligning with their key objective to provide a fun, inspiring and collaborative workspace with fun pops of colour whilst still ensuring professional, practical and inviting shared areas for employees.

Petbarn wanted a new concept and image that would highlight its Unique Selling Proposition and set them apart as a market leader in their niche.

With our space planning visual boards, the latest 3D walkthrough technology innovations, and our extensive office furniture range, we could take the ideas they wanted and combine them into several different design options.

2

Space Planning

Outside of its baseline needs as a corporate head office, we worked with Perbarn to design areas that fit within their brand, goals, message and desired vision for the spaces.

Adding office partitions offered an open-plan workplace with zoned areas to enhance productivity and create a logical traffic flow.

3

Construction

Office Fitout Group’s unique Project Management and Early Contractor Involvement in all aspects of the fitout guaranteed a completely tailored end-to-end management for Petbarn. Our project management also included the design & construction process, such as trade personnel, and procurement of materials, furniture & fittings, while ensuring a safe workplace.

The combination of design, space planning, construction planning techniques and advanced construction systems was critical to Petbarn’s fit-out success. It ensured highly efficient construction productivity and superior quality within a tight budget and timeline.

Design Highlights

Our tailored solution, design and vision for Petbarns fit-out were to create cohesion between the practicality, creativity and collaborative spaces whilst keeping with our client’s brand, tone and vision.

All were delivered in a time-efficient manner and within budget.

Each of these aspects comes together to create a fun, visual and stimulating environment that matches our client’s passion and is a perfect space for a bright, fun, cool company focused on creating healthy and happy pets.
