Envisioned
Financial firm, NewDay, appointed us to design a bold and modern 30,000 sq ft workspace in a magnificent Victorian building.
They wanted a design that maximised space to promote collaborative working. Together with the NewDay team, our designers held several brainstorming workshops to conceptualise the final design concepts.
Shaped
Our team selected a specialist structural engineer to help develop a complex structural scheme.
Our vision was to create a contemporary design whilst retaining the building’s original mid-18th century features. To achieve this, we inserted intriguing landscapes and modern shapes against the period brickwork backdrop.
Transformed
The space includes 300 fixed workstations, open plan desking and several meeting pods over an expansive café area.
To enhance creativity and productivity we provided NewDay with 75% more meeting space through clever structural space planning. The space allows NewDay to choose how, when and where they work by offering a range of work settings. Each area is designed for a different type of task.
‘Oktra understood our brief and it was a partnership; a really fun and collaborative experience. We are absolutely delighted with the finished product.’
