BEDFORD

Bedford Group is the second largest employer of people with disability in Australia and have proudly created the largest social enterprise site in Australia. Delivered in collaboration with Cultivate Food & Beverage and Dovetail Advanced Manufacturing, BELL’s Architecture and Interior Design team worked closely with project partners Bedford Group and Leyton Property to shape the Advanced Manufacturing and Retail Hub: a high-performing, adaptable industrial and workplace environment, supporting social enterprise and innovation in South Australia.

Following a successful site and project team selection phase initiated by Broadway Property, our team delivered concept and planning application for architectural, interior design and landscape design services, working directly with Bedford Group and Leyton Property. Bell was then engaged by Sagle Constructions to complete construction documentation and provide post-construction consultancy on the project.

The mixed-use facility spans a 39,545sqm site, comprising a 4,775sqm food & beverage operation featuring a full-scale commercial bakery, alongside a 13,715spm assembly and production operation designed to support multiple product streams including x-frame, an innovative modular construction technology. A two-storey, 1500spm administration building provides a combined workspace for all business operations, completing the development.
