Scope

The brief

We worked with the Balfour Beatty Workplace team, alongside their interior designers, on their Bristol office. As well as making it inspiring, practical and ergonomic, every activity was strictly audited for environmental impact.

Reception with a wooden desk, an orange wall with plants, and orange silhouettes of people on the glass
Orange accent walls and ‘shadow people’ at reception.

No compromise on chairs

When the budget was under pressure, Balfour Beatty could easily have made concessions on chairs. Instead they insisted on the most ergonomic chairs possible, with flexible backs to avoid backache. The result is a very comfortable, as well as funky, workspace.

Colour

Bright colours make for a pleasant place to work, and tie in with the shadow people, the accent walls, the furniture and the swathes of colour cut into the carpet, all coming together as one.

The result

The feedback from staff and visitors was exceptional, and the office became the new Balfour Beatty Workplace standard, with a UK roll-out.
