Forging a people-first culture through workplace transformation
Peak Re is a reinsurance specialist that focuses on supporting client needs to drive positive change for businesses and society. Following exponential growth, the company needed a top-notch space for international talent and clients. In relocating, we provided integrated design and delivery solutions to create a workplace that would reinforce the brand tone and portray the company vision.
Key highlights
Art as a guiding principle to support inclusivity and community.
A spacious, elegant and agile layout for collaboration and growth.
A unique world-class space that sparks creativity and reinforces the brand.
Advancing ESG ambitions with a one-of-a-kind design for a people-first culture.
For Peak Re, relocating was a chance to revamp its brand, reaffirm its core values and rethink how its people collaborate and communicate. For its new HQ, the company chose West Kowloon District – the cultural heart of Hong Kong.
An important factor of this workspace is the natural light. Ample floor-to-ceiling windows and columns bring in the sunshine, changing the environment as the day unfolds. A big staircase featuring Peak Re’s colours looks over the hall and connects the 15th floor and the loft.
The open layout of each floor supports communication and allows staff to move through the workplace as their day or workload dictates. Additionally, we used glass walls in conference room to increase transparency and improve participation.
Workplace design can drive a business’ core values and elevate its reputation. Peak Re’s mission is to make people’s lives better, so we created its new office with the same aim. LEED Gold certified and WELL Gold targeted, the space puts health and wellbeing at its core.
Moreover, the office has low-flow water fixtures, high-efficient LED lighting, occupancy and sensor lighting controls. It also has energy-star labelled equipment and appliances to reduce water and energy consumption. Air quality is controlled through technology and each workspace is equipped with wireless power stations for a seamless experience.
Amenities such as parent rooms, balconies and recreation areas are key to supporting mental and physical wellbeing. Flexible areas can be used for hosting monthly yoga classes, nutrition programs or wellness initiatives. These activities educate and empower employees to maintain sustainable, healthy lifestyle choices.
