Project Info – Introducing new ways of working:
As appointed ESPO 282 framework providers, Combined Office Interiors (COI) were delighted to be successful in a further competition directed by L&Q for the design and refurbishment of their innovative workspace.
COI first collaborated with L&Q back in 2019, when we successfully completed an inspirational smart-working refurbishment for one of their three-city workspaces.
Our latest challenge was to transform the current open-plan office environment and create a flexible, collaborative space that would encourage safe interaction and freedom of movement in anticipation of the safe return of remote and hybrid workers in the wake of the Covid pandemic.
To effectively create a unique smart-working environment for L&Q, we collaborated with office furniture manufacturers Orangebox, The Smartworking CompanyTM who are pioneers of future-focused workspaces, with a wide portfolio of market-leading multifunctional furniture solutions.
Collectively we delivered an extensive project-managed solution from innovative design and planning, the selection of diverse loose furniture, and a full installation service over 6 days.
By incorporating an effective and friendly social space design, L&Q has been able to introduce a new way of working. This has included the reduction of traditional desk space by 30% which will contribute to the improvement of physical and mental wellbeing. As well as helping improve relationships and provide a boost in motivation and productivity.
