The two projects in Warsaw and the northern city of Olsztyn have been driven by changing working practices and a response to the evolving expectations of the modern workforce with a greater focus on co-working, desk sharing and flexible working hours.

Working within the company’s unassigned desk policy, the focus of the design was to create a vibrant and stimulating office environment that encouraged collaboration while embracing news ways of working, which included adhering to a ratio of 100 desks for every 140 people.

The brief for both schemes was to create a variety of work settings such as four people huddle rooms, enclosed touchdown areas, meeting rooms and focus pods which were distributed proportionally across the office while retaining as much open space as possible.

A major part of the in-house philosophy is that all desks are unassigned with a complete clean desk policy so this has been facilitated by the use of individual lockers which have been positioned to provide separation between the circulation corridors and desks and create informal meeting spaces throughout the office floors.
