Offices + Workplace Portfolio 11

Our work in the commercial workplace sector goes back to the founding of the practice in 1970. Later work has covered the commercial spectrum, from small speculative offices and control rooms to headquarters buildings. This brochure illustrates our recent work in the commercial offices sector.

Our interest in sustainable design is equally lifelong; we were commissioned to research passive solar energy collection by the European Commission back in 1978.

Recognising the need to adhere strictly to budgets, we have developed strategies for sustainable design that are cost-effective for our clients to implement.

Many recent projects have required us to assemble a brief for the building that meets the client’s unspoken aspirations and needs. This has meant working closely with developers, funders and planners to develop a brief that meets the project team’s needs and budget.

This close relationship with developers and other stakeholders is the basis of a good design. We aim to add value to ensure that the timescale, budget and brief are met with a sustainable design for a beautiful building.

Client Charles Street Buildings Ltd

Year of Completion 2014

• Built in the mid 1900s and remained essentially unmodernised

• The large open-plan floorplates were broken up by vertical shafts

• Open to the weather and separated from the office spaces by walls and windows

• Glass roofs over the shafts enabling natural light into the building and views across the floorplates

• Bridges across the longest shafts to improve circulation and add drama to the space

• This improvement was extremely cost-effective to open up the building and the client was very pleased with the working environment created

Increasingly, our clients are seeking to make the very best use of their space, often with the aim of reducing floor space and rent liabilities. This might arise from changing business circumstances, be it expansion or contraction, relocation or a desire to implement new ways of working to increase business efficiency.

We work with our clients to help rationalise their space effectively while helping to ensure that access for all staff and visitors (including those with disabilities) is carefully considered. We have in-house capability and access to specialist consultants and can provide access audits and upgrade plans for building modifications and reasonable adjustments.

We can make recommendations for incorporating building features to allow facilities to be upgraded in the future to meet changing business needs and user profiles. This can often help a business to deal with any necessary expansion without incurring the costs and disruption of having to relocate.

Whether it be a ‘new ways of working’ approach for a more dynamic, flexible and cost-efficient workplace environment or a more conventional desk oriented approach, we work with clients to ensure they have the best outcome for their businesses. Research and surveys indicate that the emerging and developing workplace has a number of identifiable characteristics:

Work is becoming more collaborative

Developing internal networks and effective knowledge sharing within organisations are increasingly important facilitators of higher productivity. A communication culture is one important part of delivering the strategic objectives of an organisation.

Working in different ways

Space needs to be provided to suit a wide range of activities, be it for social interactions, group learning, focused tasks or collaborative team working. The most effective organisations of the future will provide all of these types of work spaces with a balance that suits their workforce and business purpose.

Technology allows us to be mobile

The rapid development of portable communication and computing has created a new breed of highly mobile workers. People will increasingly be able to choose how and where they work as the link to a fixed workplace diminishes for more and more of us.

Employees value good space

We are all becoming increasingly design conscious and we are spending more and more time at work. The quality of our workplace is of great value to us. An organisation’s ability to attract and retain the very best people will be increasingly linked to the quality of environment it is able to provide.

Flexibility is important

The rising need to maintain competitiveness is increasing the pressure to reduce the costs of space and operations. Designing the workplace to support agile working methodologies can facilitate higher densities of occupation, improve space utilisation and ultimately provide more efficient use of buildings.

Agile Working and Cultural Change

Our experience working with our clients in both the private and public sectors indicates a clear move towards agile working methodologies. We recognise that agile working is more than a space plan; it is an activity, a way of doing work.

For some businesses it represents a significant departure from their established culture and the way they do things. This is most noticeable in the public sector, but not exclusively so. Our role is to use our design skills to create the environment that will allow businesses to change and to provide clients with the guidance they will need to make the very best out of what has been provided.

Implementation of agile working arrangements, while offering improved utilisation and efficiencies, must not be seen as simply a way of getting more people into an office, although that may be a beneficial side effect, provided it is done in a considered way.

People are different; people work in different ways. While a ‘buzzy’ office may be a stimulating environment for extroverts it can be extremely uncomfortable for introverts or people who thrive and do their best work in a quieter environment. A successful design has to take account of these important differences.

Modern Office Design Solutions

We understand the benefits of connecting the office space with nature (biophilic design) and the positive effects on staff wellness and wellbeing of staff cannot be underestimated. Whether it be through connection with views (existing or created), use of external space or use of natural materials and graphic devices in the office interior; we will be able to create spaces that make people feel better.

The correct design solution for all of these spaces will be dependent on an organisation and its own particular business culture. We take the time to understand each organisation’s aspirations for development and growth, so we can shape a space to meet those needs.

We create a wide range of workplace environments, all thoughtfully planned and located, where each organisation’s staff can find a space that they feel comfortable.

Flexibility is the key. One size does not fit all. We can create space in a range of sizes, colours and styles; something for everyone, something for you.
