Joe Bartolo Talks Culture
Joe Bartolo (CEO) Talks Culture and New Workplace Environment
https://vimeo.com/281887665Description
Civilex workplace is a project that exemplifies client engagement and collaboration. The client has staged the move of the office as part of a cultural transformation of the business and the brand. Today, the staff, management and founders greet guests and family members with a new sense of pride they share and show around their new workplace they call home.
Woven into the fabric of the design are their aesthetical industrial elements, which resonate with the engineering and civil focus of the company, but more importantly the threads of their family-orientated culture, wellbeing and a
sense of belonging.
Questions and Answers
What were the solutions?
The challenge was solved by understanding their corporate values and business workflows. We created a central
breakout hub where food is shared, informal meetings are held and organic interactions naturally occur.
We carefully crafted different zones which facilitate meetings, project collaboration or deep work.
What were the key challenges?
Civilex was turning 10. This project was a turning point from a small business that started with two founders and
over the years grew into disjointed departments, teams and sub-companies. The biggest challenge was to bring
together all members of the organisation into one shared space where all of their business processes are
accomodated, building a unified cultural workplace - tapping into the company's values.
Key products used:
Furniture, Eastern Commercial Furniture (ECF)
Natural Oak, Laminate, Polytec
Venetian Render, Civilex
Cube, Echopanel, Autex
Hemlock Dressed All Round, Diamond Clad, Timber Wall Cladding, Cedar Sales
Tectonic Esker, Carpet Tile, Ontera
How is the project unique?
What stood out was how responsive the client was in embracing our design statements, such as the massive green
wall at the entry, a fun and vibrant kitchen and outdoor area, as well a private professional business-lounge
executive area.
What are the sustainability features?
The designed workplace uses locally sourced materials that compliment the fitout, as this not only benefits our local
industry, but also reduces the carbon footprint of the goods being delivered to site.
Floor to ceiling tilt doors in the open office area brings the feeling of inside/outside work environment. On sunny
days the large doors open up completely allowing employees working at their desks to enjoy the feeling of being
outside.
