Kitchen Warehouse HQ
By Western Architecture Studio
Kitchen Warehouse engaged Western Architecture Studio in 2021 to design their new headquarters. The Covid pandemic saw a shift toward work-from-home, however Kitchen Warehouse already operated remotely with a globally-dispersed workforce. As such, the fitout ran counter to the prevailing trend; providing a space intended to bring staff together.
Open plan workspaces are drawn together through a central corridor, with a graphical perspective distortion to stretch the length, and application of bold colour to unite the two sides, culminating in the centre hinge of the kitchen – the office’s central core.
To fulfil the client’s desire for an open, vibrant, inclusive feeling, the design creates generous spaces with small groups of workstations, limited enclosed meeting rooms and a large central kitchen to encourage staff interaction and engagement. The new Kitchen Warehouse HQ is a space designed to embody a progressive, family business, which staff can enjoy and make their own.
