Animated Vitality – Vida Glow HQ by Arent&Pyke

It is not often that a workplace feels so appealing and warmly well-appointed that it could easily be mistaken for a home. Vida Glow HQ accomplishes just this, with Arent&Pyke delivering an abundance of inviting and jubilant spaces throughout the wellness company’s new office. Nestled in the suburb of North Sydney, Vida Glow HQ’s interior is an achievement of animated vitality that faithfully mirrors the brand’s own blissful character.

Flourishing swiftly in recent years, Vida Glow has had a glow-up of its own, leading the retailer of holistic beauty solutions and supplements to extend its operations and rejuvenate its branding. Part of this evolution necessitated a fresh workplace that could serve its team professionally, while also nurturing a sound sense of wellbeing. In addition, the new office needed to become a destination for an immersive brand experience for a host of prospective visitors, from clients to influencers.

Vida Glow HQ offers facilities that extend beyond the usual office trappings to echo the company’s wellness-centred ethos. Promoting health and prosperity though considered design, guests are greeted by a collagen bar upon entry – immediately prompting inquisitive interaction with Vida Glow’s ingestible product range – while journeying further into the enlivened haven reveals a gym and fully equipped kitchen that forms the heart of the workplace.

Refreshing brightness filters through the office, imbuing a radiant glow from within that is a hallmark of Vida Glow’s signature collagen supplements. Bathing in the luminosity, a diverse and organically inspired material palette of marbled stone, woven rattan, timber, concrete and clay communes heartily with fluted glass, mirrors and striking artwork throughout. The office’s energetic and uplifting design language speaks to robust contentment and an assured sense of self that instantly imparts a welcoming ease. With comfort and amenity underlying all areas, the enthusiastic invitation to sink into the custom-made lounge or pull up a stool at the kitchen island is undoubtedly enticing and further cultivates the collaborative community Vida Glow’s team is built upon.

As a grounded gathering place, Arent&Pyke’s amalgamation of professional and personal is observed in elements that blur the lines of setting.

As a grounded gathering place, Arent&Pyke’s amalgamation of professional and personal is observed in elements that blur the lines of setting. From the curved generously-scaled tables seen in the boardroom and by the collagen bar – that could easily feel just as at home in a residential dining room – to sumptuous styling that offers a lived-in cosiness rather than a familiar commercial minimalism, the spaces exude personality and presence. Charming and welcoming, the result feels less like an office and more like the home of a design devotee who has lovingly collected pieces over the years to realise a complete and multifaceted living space that glows with vivacious energy.
