What sets this project apart is its deliberate challenge to conventional warehouse design. By softening the industrial environment and bridging the gap between office and factory spaces, the facility creates a more people-friendly atmosphere that prioritizes employee wellbeing. The interior design embraces Melbourne Chef’s brand identity through bold, vibrant colours applied with subtle sophistication, ensuring the design journey flows seamlessly from front-of-house through to production areas.

The Impact
This project demonstrates how industrial spaces can be transformed into positive, inviting workplaces without compromising functionality. The facility’s strategic location in Derrimut ensures efficient distribution throughout Melbourne and beyond, while its innovative design sets a new standard for manufacturing facilities.The project also contributes to the broader community. The company’s former warehouse will be repurposed into mixed-tenure social housing, highlighting Melbourne Chef’s commitment to social responsibility.
