Over Westland Insurance Kantoorinterieurontwerp

Westland Insurance is een kantoorinterieurontwerp gecreëerd voor een hoofdkantoor in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. De werkplek beslaat 5500 vierkante meter verdeeld over zes verdiepingen. De bovenste verdieping herbergt de receptieruimte, het conferentiecentrum, de bistro en cateringkeuken, en kan tevens dienen als evenementenruimte. Een opvallende trap verbindt de twee bovenste verdiepingen. De vijf onderliggende verdiepingen bevatten 338 werkplekken, 38 kantoren en 34 vergaderruimtes. Ondersteunings- en samenwerkingsruimtes bevinden zich op vergelijkbare posities op elke verdieping om de navigatie te vergemakkelijken. Beton, hout en handgeweven vloerkleden creëren een rustige omgeving.

Ontwerpuitdaging: The irregular floorplate for the base building features sharp corners. The harsh angle of the building did not align with the design goal of having a welcoming and approachable space. Designers were challenged to include curved forms to provide a calming sensation and a subconscious relation to the natural environment.
Onderzoek: Primary research was used to assess space needs. The goal was to figure out how its employees work best and how to best accommodate a hybrid working model. Through company-wide assessments and leadership interviews, data was collected to identify workstyle personas which inform the amount and types of spaces needed within the workplace. Scenario planning utilized this data to set the layout. With the help of this research, Westland was able to reduce square footage needs and increase savings.
