V Arc is an Australian interior design and architectural company focused on delivering creative and innovative design solutions with a ‘can do’ attitude. Partnering with Property Logic and FDC Building + Construction, V Arc have recently completed an unconventional fit out for the iSelect team with a real wow factor.
The 4800sqm site, split across three levels, marries contemporary design practices and space planning with clear design drivers: design an environment that is fun, quirky and gives back to the staff, and create an environment that is professional yet entertaining – promoting social interaction throughout the entire fit out.
iSelect is a young company that is experiencing rapid growth as consumers increasingly go online to find better solutions for their household products and services. Having selected a new site in Bay Road, Cheltenham, V Arc established the workplace goals and aspirations and set about designing a new home for the company.
With a rich culture, young and vibrant staff demographic, there was a requirement for lots of meeting rooms and collaboration spaces but not much storage. With these as our “iSelect principles” V Arc sought to integrate a variety of fun environments throughout the work zones. V Arc wanted something to be discovered at every turn, to encourage people to explore their environment and use spaces in ways they perhaps had not considered before.
iSelect embraced ‘out there’ design solutions and really supported out of the box thinking. In that respect iSelect and V Arc were a perfect match. V Arc aimed to flip the concept of what a call centre is on its head, and create a working environment that was not only striking but fostered communication between staff across all departments and levels and promoted their achievements.
The Front of House makes use of the iSelect corporate colours, orange and white. With stark white epoxy floors and bold splashes of orange, the front of house has a number of quirky spaces including the round “interrogation room” and white internal stair which was part of the design brief to ensure great vertical integration throughout the floors.
