Translating a storied heritage into a vibrant modern workplace, the design for Fonterra GBS is anchored in the “Dairy for Life” philosophy. The spatial narrative emphasizes community and collaboration, utilizing a high-energy palette of sky blue, grass green, and warm timber to reflect natural landscapes.

A defining feature of the office is the integration of “Home-Grown” collaboration hubs—house-shaped booths that provide intimate, acoustic-friendly zones for focused discussion and teamwork. This organic language extends into the open-plan workstations, where geometric carpet patterns in lime and forest green guide movement and define functional zones. The material palette balances professional utility with playful branding, featuring custom graphic lockers and glass-fronted meeting rooms labelled with bold typography. From the hospitality-inspired breakout lounge with its sunny yellow banquettes to the light-filled corridors, the design transforms the corporate headquarters into a sophisticated, lifestyle-oriented sanctuary.
