commercial kitchen office fitout

Background

Following a successful collaboration on The Hub for Kilcoy in Queensland, Amicus was engaged by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) to rejuvenate their Sydney workplace. Inspired by their experience at Kilcoy, MLA sought to create a dynamic, flexible environment that better reflected their culture and supported their evolving business needs all while remaining fully operational throughout the project.

The vision for MLA's new workplace centred on cultivating connection — between people, land, and industry. The brief called for a modern uplift of the existing space, balancing new design elements with sustainable reuse of approximately 25% of the original fitout.

Solution

Working within a fully operational office presented a unique challenge, requiring a carefully staged construction program to minimise disruption to MLA’s daily operations. Clear communication, flexible scheduling, and a strong site management presence were critical to this approach.

The Amicus Design team drew on neutral, earthy tones and natural textures, inspired by MLA’s connection to land and the farm-to-plate journey that underpins Australia's red meat industry.

On Level 1, the integration of the commercial kitchen was a key technical challenge, requiring specialist coordination of services and high-spec hospitality-grade materials to meet functional and aesthetic requirements. On Level 2, the focus was on upgrading the central breakout area, creating a variety of meeting and training spaces, and enhancing technology to enable more collaborative and agile ways of working.

Benefit

The office fitout was delivered seamlessly within a live office environment, allowing MLA to operate without disruption throughout the project. A flexible events space was introduced, featuring a fully equipped show kitchen that supports client engagement, demonstrations, and videography.

Sustainability goals were met through the adaptive reuse of existing materials, significantly reducing environmental impact. Enhanced workplace technology now enables more agile, hybrid working and improved collaboration across teams.

The design achieves a cohesive, natural aesthetic that reflects MLA’s identity and connection to Australia’s land and agricultural roots.
