Krost's Sydney Office Update With 3D Tour: A Blueprint For Workplace Design

December 20, 2023

Our latest Sydney office renovation was more than just an aesthetic upgrade, it's a reflection of modern work culture —flexible, intuitive, and inherently human-centric. To achieve this, we set our goal to design a space that caters to diverse work styles, settings and needs.

Throughout the space, strategically placed meeting and breakout rooms foster collaboration and spontaneous interactions. Our Remi counter table serves as a hub for impromptu catch-ups, while the curve of our Sofi ottomans create a welcoming space for informal chats.

Each room is named and can be easily booked in our calendar system:

The Loft - A feature collaborative space in our Mascot office, carefully designed to offer a dynamic environment tailored for both brief stand-up huddles and teamwork-driven sessions.

The Arena - Embodies our commitment to being at the forefront of furniture design and innovation by integrating modern tech into specially designed, functional furniture.

The Hub - A quiet space that offers a refreshing change from the workstation zone, providing a focused work environment for teams looking for a change.

The Home Suite - A perfect blend of comfort and function, where private chats and casual catch-ups combine seamlessly with productivity, away from the buzz of the office.

The Booth - Intentionally designed to nurture a collaborative and undistracted environment, perfect for brief touchpoints or extensive brainstorming sessions.

The Nook - For hyper-focused task immersion, tailored for small offices, it cleverly maximises efficiency without compromising on style.

Highlighted in the centre of the office is our new Clic workstation, featuring a sleek black rounded profile and a Coastal Oak Woodmatt worktop from Polytec. To enhance privacy and infuse greenery into the workspace, we've incorporated custom joinery planter boxes that elegantly divide the workstations, as well as our Cubby planters at the foot of the desks.

Our open workstation area is equipped with Archi chairs, meticulously crafted for supreme ergonomic comfort and flexibility. Complementing this setup is a dynamic hot desking spine, flanked by planter box lockers. This not only introduces a touch of greenery but also provides personalised storage for our staff.

Design and Function Combine for Talent X’s New Office

April 20, 2022

Located in a heritage style building, Talent X’s new office space features a mix of original and contemporary style finishes creating the perfect juxtaposition of architecture and furniture. As a hybrid recruitment and consultancy agency with an aim to build overachieving teams, Talent X’s fit out has created an environment to foster success and support for their team and candidates.

Natural light floods the open plan office, highlighting the signature painted brick walls and furniture pieces throughout. Using a mixture of Polytec Notaio Walnut, Shannon Oak and Laminex Milano Walnut finishes throughout the office, combined with the green walls, a biophilic design that reminds us of the warmth of nature is created. The interior features floor to ceiling glass walls allowing each area to flow into each other without clear or defined limits, creating fluidity within the office.

As you enter the space, our Tex lounges provide soft seating for visitors, encouraging a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Our Lennox storage units in a dual tone finish are placed facing opposite directions to divide the areas in a purposeful yet stylish way.

Collaboration and teamwork is inspired through the multiple Flip tables that fill the open area. Offering complete mobility and functionality with their castors, our Flip tables allow the Talent X team to move and create their own work areas based on different needs and requirements. Our Keywork desk with a modesty panel is also featured in this space, allowing for more focused and task driven activities.

Talent X have used our Swish height adjustable desks to promote employee health and wellbeing and to suit the varied working styles. In the main office, our Swish spine has been used offering practical storage which hides the foot of the Spine desk for a seamless finish. Paired with our Miro and Space task chairs, each office has been set up to promote comfort and productivity.

Cohesive in theme, our Lennox units in matching finishes are featured through the entire office, from the open area to executive offices allowing ample storage. Minimalist in design with clean lines and matt black anodised handles, Lennox effortlessly integrates into all spaces within the Talent X office.

Finally, the boardroom features our Benchwork table in Shannon Oak and black powder coated steel frame, offering a practical solution for formal and team meetings.

Talent X’s new office space considers the different working environments for the modern employee. Various settings are provided that focus on connection, collaboration and comfort by the curation of furniture and finishes.

What The Government Stimulus Package Means For Your Business

March 14, 2020

The federal government announced a 17.6 billion stimulus package with funding allocated to measures targeted at small businesses. For new and existing businesses which require an office fit out and purchasing furniture, this is a great time to take advantage of these incentives and plan ahead.

Increasing the Instant Asset Write-Off

$700 million to increase the instant asset write off threshold from $30,000 to $150,000 and expand access to include businesses with aggregated annual turnover of less than $500 million (up from $50 million) until 30 June 2020. For example, assets that may be able to be immediately written off are a concrete tank for a builder, a tractor for a farming business, and a truck for a delivery business.

This instant asset-write off allows businesses to purchase capital equipment for their business and obtain an immediate tax deduction for doing so (rather than depreciating the cost over a number of years, as was previously the case).

Accelerated Depreciation for Investments

$3.2 billion to back business investment by providing a time limited 15 month investment incentive (through to 30 June 2021) to support business investment and economic growth over the short term, by accelerating depreciation deductions. Businesses with a turnover of less than $500 million will be able to deduct an additional 50 per cent of the asset cost in the year of purchase.

Cash flow assistance for businesses:

$6.7 billion to Boost Cash Flow for Employers by up to $25,000 with a minimum payment of $2,000 for eligible small and medium-sized businesses. The payment will provide cash flow support to businesses with a turnover of less than $50 million that employ staff, between 1 January 2020 and 30 June 2020. The payment will be tax free. This measure will benefit around 690,000 businesses employing around 7.8 million people. Businesses will receive payments of 50 per cent of their Business Activity Statements or Instalment Activity Statement from 28 April with refunds to then be paid within 14 days.
$1.3 billion to support small businesses to support the jobs of around 120,000 apprentices and trainees. Eligible employers can apply for a wage subsidy of 50 per cent of the apprentice’s or trainee’s wage for up to 9 months from 1 January 2020 to 30 September 2020. Where a small business is not able to retain an apprentice, the subsidy will be available to a new employer that employs that apprentice.

Elula's New HQ

April 3, 2019

Utilising the building’s original industrial materiality, Elula’s new headquarters has an aesthetic which exudes chicness and luxury. The interior features classic design elements combined with modern furnishings that create an eclectic, monochromatic design that’s dotted with warm woods and light brick walls.

The open plan space is a haven for our Benchwork workstations fitted with Sonic task chairs, Globe slimline pedestals and Local Screens. The desks feature a black frame and white top, used in conjunction with matching accessories, fitting in perfectly with the interior. The design of this area results in a cutting edge workspace curated to enhance productivity and employee well-being.

Moving into the boardroom, a warm contrast is made with natural wooden tones used on our Dart boardroom table. Our Zorro chairs in chocolate are paired with the Dart to finish the setting. Glass windows divide the meeting room and the open area as the connective floor plan fosters new ways of thinking by establishing different environments for various purposes.

Combining the design of the entire office with furniture to compliment the space and its size, Elula’s office has everything you need for the modern employee.
