4. WE LISTEN…
TO YOU
• Design Principles:
• By following some very simple key design principles,
we ensure that every aspect of your project design
is aligned with your business (People, IT and Business
Processes) to measurably improve business
performance.
• Our design principles are:
• Balance Privacy
• Make Work Visible
• Offer Inspiring Spaces
• Manage Connections
• Future Proof Facilities
• Integrate Technologies
• The benefits of good office design are extensive, if
we consider the office an asset then we should also
be able to measure return on investment.
• By collecting all the correct information from the
outset, we can measure the success of your project.
Great Design, isn’t about throwing
money at a project – it’s about how
you spend it.
We believe we’re experts in our fields
and we know how to extract every last
drop of inspiration out of your tight
budget and that works with how you
and your business function daily.
When we’re designing a layout we
approach it in a unique way.
We listen to you.
5. COLLABORATIVE
SPACE:
The world of work is changing.
It’s anywhere and anytime.
It’s highly collaborative.
Workers are mobile, diverse and networked. Collaborative
working is one of the key business issues.
New technologies have transformed working life and a growing
number of organisations recognise that successful collaboration
enhances performance.
Four common ways of collaborating have been identified:
working in pairs, working in small groups, formal meetings and
informal interactions.
Working in small teams is more efficient. People prefer to
collaborate in smaller groups because it is more efficient and
encourages each member to contribute.
6. COLLABORATIVE
SPACE:
As part of the FGS Telecoms brief we were
asked to provide a space which could be used
for multiple uses, but still provide privacy when
required during its main role.
Seating was chosen that can be easily slid
around the space to create different
combinations.
A desktop partitions created the
privacy required and a calm area.
7. WORKING SPACE:
Within the FGS Telecoms brief the two
main areas of importance were the
main new open plan office area,
workshop and storage area.
Open plan space:
The new office area needed to provide
the FGS staff with the space to work
and interact with their colleagues, in
keeping with the company’s brand
colours.
