Om Westland Insurance Kontorsinredning

Westland Insurance är en kontorsinredning skapad för ett huvudkontor i Surrey, British Columbia, Kanada. Arbetsplatsen omfattar 5500 kvadratmeter fördelade på sex våningar. Den översta våningen rymmer receptionen, konferenscentret, bistron och cateringköket, och kan även fungera som eventyta. En framträdande trappa förbinder de två översta våningarna. De fem nedre våningarna innehåller 338 arbetsstationer, 38 kontor och 34 mötesrum. Stöd- och samarbetsytor återkommer på liknande platser på varje våning för att underlätta orienteringen. Betong, trä och handvävda mattor skapar en lugn miljö.

Designutmaning: 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.
Forskning: 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.
