wayfinding too, separating these private offices from the rest of the workspace.
FOCUSING ON
EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE Danesmoor Group wanted to provide distinction between the central workspace and breakout areas to highlight the provision of separate areas that could support the working preferences of employees. It was also key to highlight the recreational areas throughout the office space and make use of zoning to ensure employees could distinguish between such areas.
For the main walkways and meeting rooms, LVT tiles from Level Set collection were selected in ‘Natural Woodgrains’ to introduce biophilic elements into the space, as well offering durability and slip resistance in these high traffic areas, thanks to the Ceramor+ coating. The lighter tone of the tiles complements the dividing screens placed throughout the space, and also matched much of the existing office furniture to avoid the need for unnecessary replacement and waste.
Breakout areas feature a unique herringbone design using the Brushed Lines LVT collection in four shades of blue, Deep Cobalt, Teal Oxide, Celadon and Arbella, to introduce interest to the space and create separation from the workfloors and walkways, while meeting performance expectations for another high traffic space.
To prioritise comfort and provide a space where its employees could work in a way that suits them, acoustics was a key consideration for this project. Interface’s LVT also comes with SoundChoice backing as standard, which significantly reduces impact sound across the working environment. The sound absorption features of the LVT are perfect for areas of focus and support the varying cognitive and sensory needs of individuals, as some employees work best in low stimulation environments.
Commenting on the design scheme, Donna Dent, concept designer at Interface, said: “Danesmoor Group were keen to put its employees at the heart of this space and wanted to avoid a corporate, dull design scheme. The wooden and blue tones of the LVT tiles were selected to introduce warmth and character to the breakout spaces, making a clear separation between spaces for focus work, collaboration and socialising, while the Works Effect collection lowers the carbon footprint of the space through the CQuest Bio backing and its unique textured design hides wear and tear, ensuring the product can stand the test of time.”
Reflecting on the finished space, Graeme Smith, head of retail and commercial design at Danesmoor Group, commented: “We wanted to ensure that our most important stakeholders, our employees, would fully benefit from time spent in the office and ultimately, provide them with a welcoming working environment. Interface’s design and sustainability expertise played a key role in enhancing the design scheme for the space, and it’s reassuring to know that the flooring is directly contributing to our internal sustainability goals.”
“By creating a space that is true to our brand and identity, and benefits our office-based employees, we’re confident that our new office acts a strong reflection of Danesmoor Group as a market leader in the KBB sector.”
