If you have been following along, you will know the story so far. We moved on Building C 6 at the Free Form development on Watt Road, Mornington, because the design philosophy of the place matched the way we have always tried to run Agile IT (our new home at Free Form). Then we watched the shell go up, panel by panel (watching the new office take shape). This is the next chapter: the inside is being finished.

The change since the last visit is the one you feel rather than see from the street. The ceilings and lights are in. The glass partitions that split the upstairs into working spaces are standing, and the floor goes down soon. Stand in the middle of it now and it reads as an office, not a building site, with a big window looking west over the road to the trees and the sunset behind them.

The C is lit, and there is a proper kitchen

Two small things made it feel real on the last visit. The first was the illuminated C above the entrance switching on at dusk. The second was the kitchen going in, with a stone benchtop and room to actually make someone a coffee, the way you would at home. Both are small. Both matter to us.

Upstairs, the working spaces are in

The glass partitions we mentioned last time are standing now, and upstairs reads as a set of proper rooms rather than one big shell. The offices are framed in black-edged glass so the light carries right through, and the open area faces west over the road to the trees. It is starting to look like somewhere you would actually want to sit and work.

Still a working site

We are being honest about where things are at. There are still trades on site, still a boom lift out the front, still a snag list. That is what the final stretch of a fit-out looks like, and we would rather show it than pretend the doors are already open.

The deck out the front

The part we did not fully picture from the plans is the shared space. Free Form was designed with landscaped common areas and an on-site cafe rather than a row of dark sheds, and the curved communal deck out the front is now taking shape. It is the kind of place you can imagine having a conversation on, which was the whole point of choosing here.

Almost open

We are close now. When the fit-out is finished and the doors are ready to open at C6/41 Watt Road, Mornington, we will let everyone know properly. The business has not missed a beat through any of this: the phones are answered, the tickets are worked, and the team is doing the same standard of work it always has, just from the current office until this one is ready.

If you have been a client through some or all of the last nineteen years, you will get an invite when we open. The kettle will be on. Bring stories.
