Workspaces are not a one size fits all approach — every space has unique needs and requirements that require more than a cookie-cutter solution.Take a look at our slideshow for office design ideas and let us help you create your ideal office workstation layout.
As space designer and management consultant, I specialise in guiding and facilitating innovation and benefit optimisation, in strategic visions, project planning and solution design, with proven capability in the delivery of complex, fast track and ‘mission impossible’ projects.
My approach involves seeking improvements in resource synchronicity (between people, property, technology), the dissolving of silo thinking and enabling greater collaboration.
As project director, strategic advisor or lead consultant/architect, I provide ways to optimise the relationship between these resources, to bring multiple benefits:
• Reducing cost
• Improving service delivery
• Future proofing agility
• Corporate image
Simultaneously, through an integrated approach.
In my design roles I seek to employ architectural aesthetic devices and visual composition techniques in workspace environments and furniture layouts, to create sense of extra volume, light, comfort and interaction, within highly space efficient interior designs and space planning excellence

How to set up an impactful collaborative Organisation Design practice. Step by step.
Join us for the story of Odile the organisation designer at Intersection Railways. We follow Odile on her journey to co-design a multi-disciplinary Enterprise Design practice, and to develop a non-intrusive governance method for maximising design efficiency and effectiveness. In the process, Odile will have to surmount the challenge of aligning enterprise architects, UX-designers and organisation designers alike; not to mention gaining and holding executive support all along the way.
