Here is a snapshot out of a typical tender document:
The new premises provide the springboard for this to happen and we have interrogated the brand guidelines to better understand the corporate vision and how this can be interpreted into a built environment.
Using a vibrant and metallic colour palette in conjunction with subtle corporate overtones a comfortable mix of quality, technology and energy is achieved.
The entrance to the space creates a sense of intrigue, inviting the visitor to discover what lies beyond the opening. And then it all opens out, the large atrium allowing natural light to flood the central office space and providing an open aspect to the lab areas. Wherever you are working, natural daylight permeates the space and creates an ambience that reflects the use of light in the technology you are working with and developing.
The main boardroom adds the sense of occasion and provides the right environment for welcoming global clients and showcasing your work.
From here the space flows into a fusion of break-out and meeting/eating space where staff can match their work patterns to their social interactions. Smaller meeting rooms and flexible spaces allow for multi-use of the space whilst the acoustic enhancements proposed will make it comfortable for all to work without uncomfortable intrusion from colleagues or equipment.
The opportunity to open the space up for town hall type events will improve communication with the entire team and other use for the larger space may well come to light as staff become more connected with each other in this new environment.
The use of natural daylight and intelligent introduction of Biophilic’s into the working areas allows the innate human interaction with nature to improve productivity and higher levels of personally reported levels of wellbeing. Interestingly, also the use of Biophilia increases creativity levels which would never be out of place in an R&D environment.
Working areas have been addressed in terms of team size, location to labs and darkrooms have been considered and designed accordingly. Along with this, the initial requirement for 120 workstations is illustrated and shows how an extra 30 workstations can be added without altering the design in any way. Acoustic control in form of suspended rafts give visual impact and colour as well as performing the vital function of absorbing noise and keeping the environment calm and comfortable for all to work in.
All workstations are individually height adjustable which can be achieved using an app from either the user’s PC or smartphone. Task chairs are the Axia chair which ST have been purchasing for 1 off requirements over the past few years and have proven to be exceptional in terms of ergonomics and durability.
