Inspired by the principles of the Bauhaus movement, Craftworks is a workplace designed to foster creativity, collaboration and community. Working alongside LiFE Architecture, SORA Interior Architecture & Design created a series of contemporary workplace environments that balance functionality with warmth, supporting businesses of varying sizes while encouraging interaction between tenants throughout the building.

SORA designed multiple workplace fit-outs across the building, tailoring each level to reflect the individual identity, culture and operational needs of its occupants. Flexible workspaces are complemented by welcoming meeting areas, collaborative zones and quiet spaces, creating environments that support focused work, spontaneous collaboration and employee wellbeing.

Natural light, refined material selections and a restrained palette create interiors that feel open, sophisticated and highly adaptable. Every space has been carefully considered to encourage connection while providing the flexibility required by modern businesses and evolving ways of working.

Beyond the individual workplaces, Craftworks offers an exceptional suite of shared amenities including a wellness hub, theatre, creative spaces, café, rooftop gardens and communal breakout areas. Together these spaces create more than an office building—they establish a vibrant workplace community where businesses can connect, share ideas and thrive within a culture of innovation and wellbeing. Sustainability is embedded throughout the project, with biophilic design principles, rooftop productive gardens and a closed-loop approach that reinforces the building's focus on community, health and environmental responsibility.

Client: Stanley Field

Completion: 2017

The sumptuous Stanley Field office space is located in Doncaster in Melbourne’s north-east. The spaces within are defined by flowing curves, featuring bespoke joinery pieces and sophisticated finishes. With an impression of a luxury home rather than a commercial workspace, the design includes a generous conference room, gymnasium, staff lounge and dining area complete with wine storage. The facilities span over two levels, linked by a striking spiral staircase.

Client: CHT Architects
Location: Penang, Malaysia
Completion: 2018

CHT Architects’ satellite office is located in Penang, Malaysia. Sora was keen to emphasise the company’s Australian origins in the design of the Malaysian office, which works cohesively alongside the head office.

With the Australian outback as a starting point for the design, a large open plan office was created. The undulating ceiling that spans throughout the meeting area and reception was created from suspended timber dowels, and is representative of the undulating Australian landscape. At night, small LED lights illuminate the space in patterns of stars, reminiscent of the expanses of starlit skies Down Under.

A heavy reception desk calls attention to itself within the space, the marble seeped in yellow ochre tones. The desk references the large rock formations found in Australian deserts.
