Bloom

IDEO workplace - Trimester 5 project

Sydney City

2026

Inspired by the journey of a seed growing into a flower, Bloom translates IDEO’s values of creativity, innovation and collaboration into a considered workplace environment. Through sculptural forms, natural elements and thoughtfully designed spaces, the concept explores how the right environment can nurture ideas and allow creativity to flourish.

About Bloom

Creativity in bloom

Inspired by the natural process of a flower growing from a seed into full bloom, Bloom explores the relationship between growth, creativity and the built environment. Drawing on IDEO’s core values of innovation, collaboration and human connection, the concept translates the journey of an idea into a physical workplace, recognising that creativity needs the right environment to flourish.

Organic forms, sculptural elements and a considered palette of warm, earthy tones create a sense of movement, comfort and connection throughout the space. The central petal-inspired structure anchors the design, symbolising the growth of ideas, while integrated greenery and natural materials strengthen the connection to nature.

Through a combination of collaborative workspaces, individual focus areas and relaxed social environments, the spatial planning supports different ways of working, encouraging interaction, experimentation and the exchange of ideas. Each space contributes to a workplace that feels both functional and inviting.

Ultimately, Bloom is about creating an environment where people feel inspired to connect, create and grow, allowing ideas to develop into something meaningful.
