LinkedIn headquarters

LinkedIn Headquarters

1 Bligh Street, Sydney

LinkedIn is an online platform used in the professional world for networking and career development. Creating a space that inspires the working life of the employees is paramount to a successful design. This has been created with the use of soft, curved lines and a muted colour palette. Focusing on creating zoned areas for whatever the day may bring. Quite areas for focus paired with areas for socialisation and brainstorming.

Primarily using the branded colour blue, this links the design and the brand in a more obvious sense. Using blue in all its hues creates depth and connection. Natural materials calm the space and reconnect you with nature which considers the use of foliage throughout to further improve the quality of life and connection.

The floor plan highlights the unique shape of the building using curved wall dividers and wall structures mirroring the circular forms to assist in segregating both loud and quiet zones in a considered way. Zones which see the day-to-day traffic are located around the exterior of the floor so that both staff members and guests can view natural light and beautiful views of the Sydney Harbour freely. This includes the staff desks, conference rooms and kitchen.
