Bokor Architecture + Interiors: Reimagining Luxury and Functionality in KFC’s Offices at French Forest

Nestled in the bustling urban landscape of Sydney’s French Forest, the KFC offices are a testament to the innovative prowess of Bokor Architecture + Interiors. In the ever-evolving design world, where luxury meets functionality, Bokor has flawlessly illustrated its unique vision in reimagining this iconic workspace. Every corner of this office tells a story, echoing a brand’s voice that champions adaptability, community, and luxury.

Established from the merger of the renowned Julius Bokor Architects and Designed Interiors, Bokor Architecture + Interiors, with its headquarters in the chic precinct of Surry Hills, boasts a legacy steeped in creativity and innovation. Their dynamic approach, which fuses architecture with interior design, has made them a coveted partner for numerous international firms. Having accomplished over 800 projects, their extensive experience spreads across diverse design typologies. From commercial masterpieces like the KFC office to avant-garde multi-residential designs, their portfolio is as varied as it is vast.

The reactivation of KFC’s head offices in Sydney posed a unique challenge. KFC Australia, a brand with a rich history dating back to 1968, required a workspace reflecting its core values while adapting to the ever-changing demands of modern businesses. The result? An office that’s not just a workspace but an experience in itself. With its intrinsic understanding of space and form, Bokor crafted an environment that promotes adaptability, wellness, and camaraderie, aligning seamlessly with KFC’s ethos.

The pièce de résistance of the design is the marketplace, a central hub that promotes visual and social connectivity. The marketplace embodies the communal spirit by bridging the entrance with the test kitchen, conference area, and workspace. Through the intelligent use of stairs, movable glazing walls, and switch privacy glass, Bokor has ensured that the area becomes the beating heart of the office, representing all facets of the business.

Yet, what truly elevates the luxurious ambience of this space is the impeccable choice of modular furniture. Within this tapestry of luxury and practicality, the Softscape Lounges deserve a special mention. With their innate flexibility and modular design, these lounges seamlessly complement the dynamic nature of today’s work environments. Modular furniture, especially the Softscape collection, fosters collaboration and focus, a duality that modern workspaces strive for.

The Softscape Lounge, part of a more extensive collection, is a marvel of design. It balances the need for seclusion with the desire for collaboration. Mobile and reconfigurable, these pieces are tailored for constantly evolving workspaces. They not only offer a visual treat but also champion the happiness and dynamism of teams, laying the foundation for sustained productivity. The Softscape Lounges, in bright red, can be strategically found beside the spiral staircase of the office.

Like many others by Bokor, this project transcends mere architectural revamps; it’s a story of traditions, values, and future aspirations converging in a space. As we walk through the corridors of this office, each corner, each lounge, and each room speaks volumes of a brand that has stood the test of time and a design firm that crafts masterpieces.

The collaboration between KFC and Bokor Architecture + Interiors, punctuated by the strategic integration of modular furniture, heralds a new era in office design. It’s where luxury isn’t just a word but an experience, where every corner and every piece of furniture tells a story. As we step into this office, we don’t just see a space; we witness a brand’s journey, legacy, and vision for the future. In the heart of the French Forest, this office stands tall, echoing the ethos of two iconic brands while laying the foundation for countless stories yet to be told.
