Cara Head Office
Not-for-profit organisation, Cara Inc, is one of South Australia’s largest disability services providers. DesignInc assisted them with a feasibility and concept planning study to consolidate two ageing offices into a new headquarters on the city fringe.
The new head office at Hindmarsh provides Cara with accommodation for 125 staff. The base building warehouse upgrades included expanding the working spaces into a mezzanine level at a later stage. The agile workplace solution provides Cara’s mobile workforce with adjustable height workstations, charging stations and dedicated personal lockers.
Quiet rooms, meeting rooms with integrated AV, study pods, lounge areas and moveable furniture allow flexible options to work on tasks away from fixed workstations in a comfortable environment designed to adapt as Cara continues to grow and evolve.
We treat each new workspace with one overarching objective, to deliver flexible design solutions that meet the needs of all users, now and well into the future.
