Savills Workplace Fit Out
Belfast, United Kingdom
The multinational property firm Savills have relocated their headquarters to Longbridge House in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter. TODD Architects worked with the firm to transform their new 5,500 sq ft offices, realizing a distinctive, spatially-efficient, and flexible workspace fit-out.
Following extensive research and analysis of the Savills work culture and social ergonomics, the design team’s concept developed to enhance work patterns. This was crucial to providing the optimal layout and workflow, evaluating shared space ratios, personal space and social interaction. The concept prioritizes spaces for collaboration, functionality and flexibility while also allowing for future expansion.
Careful consideration ensured the new office facilities provide a positive, healthy working environment promoting the welling of staff with operational workspaces benefitting from natural light. Air conditioning and ventilation units where installed to provide air quality and thermal comfort, significant to employee work output. Workspaces are spacious, following BCO fit out guidelines, with high work / sit-stand tables have provided for flexibility.
Teamwork is essential to Savills ethos; the open plan layout encourages collaboration across the entire workforce. This in effect creates a social workspace in which it is necessary to regulate noise levels through the installation of a range acoustic ceilings, desk dividers and wall panels.
Various size meeting rooms offer private space for collaborative team sessions, informal break out areas or client meetings, with high specification sofas and acoustic treatments.
The client zone begins on arrival, with a bright foyer lit with glazed screens and feature LED lighting. The two client meeting rooms and board room are strategically located around an informal meeting area each benefitting from natural daylight. These meeting rooms are facilitated by the adjacent staff breakout & kitchenette. One four-person meeting space offers dual usage facilitating staff and client meetings accessible from both sides.
Key client brief requirements addressed include the addition of audio-visual technology in the reception, meeting rooms and breakout spaces and acoustic divisions between client and staff spaces. Acoustic dividers work to audibly separate the client and staff zones, while they are still physically interlinked offering the choice connection between the two zones. This is achieved through the introduction of full height glazed screens and doors, with high quality acoustic screens, the felt ceilings, wood-wool slab. Bespoke joinery items include the reception desk, storage / presentation units, kitchen and timber screens.
Working with the firm’s brand accent range, the design team employed a muted palette with splashes of colour of pale blue and green of the wood-wool slab acoustic feature wall and the introduction of yellow high specification soft furniture. The design team drew inspiration from the locality by incorporating carpet tiles with a cobbled design which reflects the streetscape of Waring and Hill Streets.
Social spaces include a breakout area located centrally on the plan is complete with state-of-the-art appliances, zip taps, a variety of furniture types and a feature light box. A fully serviced quality kitchen with high end appliances was installed as part of the fit-out. A breakout space offers engagement and social interaction, designed to facilitate both formal and informal events with its direct link to the informal meeting area.
