Qualitas, a prominent alternative real estate investment management firm in Australia, was faced with low office attendance and a workspace that no longer reflected its brand prestige. The former space was dark, cluttered, and disconnected—lacking natural light, functional breakout areas, and seamless client arrival experiences. With limited meeting space, outdated tech, and a layout that stifled collaboration, it fell short of the company’s high-performance standards.
Qualitas engaged Axiom Workplaces to deliver a comprehensive workplace transformation—spanning strategy, interior design, and construction. They chose to relocate to a new office at the esteemed 101 Collins Street. The 1,130m² space on Level 41 required a complete fit out. The objective was to create a workspace that embodies Qualitas’ identity as high-performance investment managers, enabling agility, collaboration, and employee wellbeing.
At the heart of the transformation was Intelligent Innovation—a strategic design philosophy reflecting the organisation’s forward-looking culture and commitment to excellence. The new workplace was envisioned to:
-
Energise people through dynamic, wellbeing-focused environments
-
Strengthen proximity by enhancing team connection and spatial flow
-
Support the ongoing pursuit of new opportunities with adaptable, future-ready spaces
This prestigious project has been recognised with the silver award at the Better Future Awards 2025 in Corporate Interior Design for the Melbourne Design Award 2025.
