To overcome the double challenge, we created a mixture of open and segmented plan spaces.
The first and second floors were broken down into three key areas – Library, Collaboration and Support –facilitating meetings, break-outs and individual working.
To enhance staff wellbeing, we kept perimeter windows free from offices and visual blockages to maximise natural daylight, and introduced planting and optimised lighting.
The canteen and reception space now flows between new drop-in working and meeting areas, and features warmer lighting, making it larger, friendlier and more welcoming.
More like an extension of the home, the new ‘landing zones’ can accommodate a wide variety of users and requirements – without prompting, staff and clients are using the space exactly as intended.
The conferencing area now includes secluded drop-in workplaces with a variety of seating and table options, as well as a more intimate lounge for presentations and private functions.
Here's just a small selection of images from the project. For more information and a full case study, please drop us an
