Design

SOE’s office space underwent a transformative refurbishment to align with the brand and culture of the business. The design focused on breaking up the long, narrow building, removing outdated décor and long corridors. The brief emphasized the integration of colour and fun throughout the space. Different zones were created to ensure optimal staff utilization and prevent the existence of unused, dead zones.

The Front of House area was designed to accommodate meeting rooms, a coffee point, training facilities, and a lounge area. Open plan teams were strategically positioned throughout the office, while a spacious breakout space took centre stage. The breakout area featured a gaming zone equipped with Xbox, PlayStation, a pool table, and darts, alongside coffee and food preparation facilities. Soft booths, lounge areas, and collaboration spaces were thoughtfully incorporated into the overall design to foster interaction and divisional separation.

Conclusion

SOE’s office refurbishment successfully captured the essence of their brand and culture. By breaking up the space, eliminating long corridors, and incorporating vibrant colors, the design infused the workplace with energy and creativity. The inclusion of various zones, from the Front of House area to the breakout space, facilitated staff utilization and fostered collaboration. The integration of key features such as acoustic pendants, cork floors, and vibrant furniture added functionality and style. The result is an office space that reflects SOE’s identity and supports a productive and engaging work environment.
