Australian-based Global Investment Banking company Macquarie Group commissioned architect Clive Wilkinson to design its new office space in Sydney, Australia, just a block from Sydney Harbour. The result is a feisty, revolutionary design that embraces the flexible Activity Based Working (ABW) platform. Each floor is divided into 5 neighbourhoods of approximately 100 people with theme Plazas. Different working groups have meeting pods which were inspired by shipping containers in Sydney harbour. The different work groups can be identified by decor or by the numbered vinyl decals.
