The Machine

We were asked to transform a unicorn fintech company's office space to entice staff back to a minimum 4-day work week in the post-COVID era. The space needed to redefine traditional office concepts, encourage collaboration, and reflect the company's innovative approach to banking technology. We conceptualised the space as a living machine, with four distinct yet interconnected areas functioning as collaborative cogs in a greater whole. The design language utilises spherical shapes and soft edges throughout, creating boundless environments that transport visitors beyond conventional office constraints. Each space adapts to various working styles through flexible layouts and innovative furnishings, while integrated sensory experiences - from flowing water to curated soundscapes - stimulate creativity and wellbeing. This design transforms not just the physical space, but the very way people think and work within it, enabling radical new approaches to out-of-date systems.
