WORKPLACE CONSULTANCY
In order to value engineer the brief, we conducted an organization-wide workplace study, test fits and a complete design, budget, and time-scaled proposal for later implementation. Our workplace surveys aim to provide a holistic view on our client’s workplace, leveraging activity profiling and occupancy analyses to directly inform design decisions. For this project, these were supplemented with interactive cross-functional workshops designed to pressure test our client’s current working model with key stakeholders in the business.
