A canvas for new content
Vice Headquarters
Overview
Media company Vice was rapidly expanding, which saw its Australian arm take over a late-Edwardian warehouse for its new headquarters. As Vice are leaders of online video content, Sibling Architecture took the ‘no-input’ blue colour as the main gesture within the interior.
An unreal blue volume hovers over the workplace as the primary gesture to elevate the importance of key meeting rooms. Across the expansive warehouse floor below, workstations are banked around collaborative zones. These are made more intimate with mobile spatial dividers with mirrors that reflect vignettes of working staff as they pass. The 1200 square meter office fit-out includes a supporting program of photographic studios, editing suites and screen-based walls. The design plays a supporting role to the program and content it generates.
