Designing a headquarters for Australia’s leading security company?
Start with function. End with something they’ll actually want to work in.
IDFC Senior Designer Tanya walks through the design process for MSS Security’s new National HQ - a project that came to us with extensive functional requirements but no defined aesthetic.
The challenge: take their corporate values, Integrity, Teamwork, Attitude, Performance, Passion and translate that into a space that works as hard as their people do.
Whilst security environments can come with their own constraints, we saw an opportunity to balance safety with openness. By weaving in breakout areas and shared zones, the space supports both focus and human connection.
We’re not giving too much away just yet. The final reveal is going to be worth the wait.
