Located within Sydney’s CBD, the Christian Dior Head Office fitout was delivered to create a sophisticated workplace that reflects the prestige, craftsmanship and global reputation of one of the world’s leading luxury brands. Constructed within an existing commercial tower, the project transformed an empty shell into a premium contemporary office environment tailored to support day-to-day operations.
Working within an occupied multi-tenant building required careful planning to minimise disruption to neighbouring occupants. Material deliveries, lift access and construction logistics were meticulously managed, while portions of the works were completed outside normal business hours to maintain building operations. The project also involved the procurement and installation of specialist finishes sourced internationally, requiring detailed planning and precise execution.
The fitout showcases a refined palette of premium materials and bespoke joinery that reflects Christian Dior’s brand identity. Standout features include custom solid timber moulded panel doors with satin hardware, branded frosted film to meeting rooms and offices, a high-end reception area, and an executive boardroom featuring a single-piece broadloom carpet imported from France. The carpet required exact site measurements prior to manufacture, ensuring a flawless installation. Integrated security systems and finely detailed joinery further elevate the space.
The full works included new ceilings, partitions, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and fire services, custom joinery and painting throughout. The completed fitout features a reception area, boardroom, kitchen and breakout facilities, 6 executive offices, meeting rooms, a press stock room, open-plan workspace for more than 16 staff, and 2 external balconies. The completed fitout delivers a workplace that reflects the exceptional quality and attention to detail synonymous with the Christian Dior brand, combining premium finishes with a highly considered and efficient design.
