DIAM required a complete refurbishment to provide an activity-based office, enabling the team to collaborate, communicate effectively, and reflect its branding within its design.

The office was to provide an informal space for the team to take breaks and socialise away from their work areas. This area would also serve as a place where the entire team could come together for updates and morning briefings. The floor plan and team adjacencies needed to be reviewed and revised to reduce the noise across the office.

In addition to this, a manager’s office and additional meeting rooms were required, which would provide confidential spaces with appropriate acoustic and visual properties.

Their future aspirations and objectives were discussed after visiting the client’s office and observing their current practices and behaviours. CRS Interiors designed and delivered a flexible open-plan office space, which included a workplace café with upholstered and practical furnishings suitable for dining and collaborative office activities. An updated, larger kitchen was also included to provide extra space for users.

A new desk plan that delivered effective team engagement using correct adjacencies was implemented. Meeting rooms and a single office were included. Manifestations that provided visible confidentiality reflected the company logo & branding, which was carried through the office using flooring designs, graphics and feature decoration.
