Overview

Asahi Beverages’ new Melbourne headquarters is located at Freshwater Place, Southbank. It consolidates teams post-acquisition with over 650 workstations for around 4,000 ANZ staff. Leveraging panoramic city skyline views, the design balances diverse brand identities under the unified “One Asahi” vision.

The Challenge

Post-acquisition expansion made the old office insufficient, with limited meeting rooms and uninspiring surroundings that hindered collaboration. Segregated zones for individual brands weakened corporate unity.

The Solution

1. Cutting-edge smart technology is deployed to enable seamless, visible meeting room booking and clear visibility of team members’ attendance status.
2. A sky bar is designed for employees, guests, partners and clients to gather for celebrations and sample the company’s own beverage portfolio.
3. Supporting amenities including the Allpress café, business lounges and brand exhibition areas create a welcoming yet professional atmosphere for receiving clients, partners and visitors.

The Results

The compelling mixed-use space drives voluntary office attendance and increases team interaction. The sky bar and exhibition zones serve as a distinctive corporate showcase, transforming the office into an immersive brand destination where work, social connection and brand communication converge.
