Yoke is a full-service creative design agency that relocated to 38 Cambridge St, Collingwood in 2019.
Collaborations with Jemson and Lee Harper Design once again transformed a century old brick building in Collingwood into an open plan studio that Yoke now call home.
Established in 1954 and based in Melbourne, Philip Morris manufacture many leading tobacco brands from their factory in Moorabbin. Philip Morris employ approximately 700 employees in Australia, including more than 200 in our Moorabbin factory.
Jemson completed the fitout of the reception area and staff cafeteria.
The century-old 3-storey brick building in Collingwood formerly functioned as a storeroom of the Australian Galleries. It underwent 10 months of extensive renovations at the hands of Building and Interior Design firm Lee Harper Design and Jemson to create the space Yoke Design now call home.
Before the planning began, Yoke Design had collected their ideas of the perfect creative studio on a dedicated web page that functioned as the starting point for Lee when coming up with the first draft of designs.
When Lee was converting the old warehouse into a modern workspace, he wanted to strike a balance between creating a comfortable working environment and honouring the historical value of the building.
He sought to embody the Yoke spirit by using materials such as timber, steel and concrete and combining these with relaxed and communal working spaces. All of this was done with a sense of fun and adventure.
Yoke Design immediately fell in love with their new studio. It is now the home of Yoke’s rapidly growing team, offering new spaces for photography and production services.
