Improving the work environment and culture for bpha

We created a large café/town hall and meeting zone in the middle of the office – an equal space where people could come together without being boxed in by partition walls, or separated by entire floors. The café area is a bright area with bench seating to further instil the idea of a community and reducing confined, separate seating to a minimum.

The desk areas were open plan for everyone too, even the Director Team and Chief Executive. When designing the office layout, the meeting areas were the only part of the office where we wanted to include a mixture of open and enclosed rooms. Our designs ensured that bpha’s new office was an environment where staff could communicate easily and have as a few barriers as possible. For the meeting rooms, we built separate Skype, phone and war rooms to give some extra privacy.
