Project Brief
For their latest project, Cleo transitioned a long-term client's team from a single floorplate to a multi-floor workspace. This was Cleo's fourth collaboration with this tenant, who places a high value on amenities for their employees, who are in the office five days a week. The primary goal was to maintain a sense of community and avoid a hierarchical layout, ensuring that the design supported team closeness and promoted wellness.
Inspiration Behind the Project
The client's vision was to create a best-in-class experience for both visitors and staff. They wanted to dedicate certain areas of the building to these two user groups while ensuring the new workspace felt like a natural evolution of their previous office. Retaining beloved design features and integrating elements that support wellness and inclusivity were key inspirations.
Challenges and Solutions
One significant challenge was ensuring the well-being of the client's team during the transition to a multi-floor space. Cleo used behavioural design techniques to guide people to central points and created amenities to encourage communal activities. This approach helped maintain a sense of closeness despite the physical separation.
Project Highlights
The highlight of the project was the successful transition from a single floorplate to a multi-story occupied space. Cleo aimed to take everyone on this journey, ensuring that every team member knew their mission and how they intended to improve their working lives. The client's project team facilitated access to the wider staff, leading to a successful and exciting onboarding process. Cleo listened and delivered, strengthening their relationship with the client.
