Establishing the inaugural Melbourne location for global software company Atlassian was bound to invert traditional models of design and construction. Eschewing the traditional office concept, the company responded to employees’ desire for more interaction by creating a “connection hub” for conversations and collaboration.

Atlassian’s 500+ Melbourne-based employees were largely hired before it had a physical space in the city and were operating remotely. Hunter Mason was tasked with executing a variable style design to help the company gauge the specific benefits of the 760-square metre office space on employee productivity and job satisfaction.
