HB Reavis UK Office Redesign

The HB Reavis UK office has been transformed into a state-of-the-art workspace, designed to address the health issues associated with modern offices. The 1088 square meter office space is a showcase of a user-centred workplace, designed according to the International WELL Building Standard guidelines. The design team, led by Evolution Design, integrated technologies to ensure good light levels, daylight harvesting, and clean air monitoring, empowering users to adjust meeting room lighting and shade to fit the task at hand.

Empowering people by enabling them to choose the most suitable work setting for the task at hand is the most effective way to reduce stress levels. The workspace concept promotes a project-based approach, combining activity-based work with hot-desking. Flexible team areas are fitted with shared sit/stand desks, meeting rooms, collaboration spaces, creative rooms, and spaces for individual work, making working across different teams simpler and more accessible.

The project, which started in November 2016 and was completed in February 2019, was a result of close interaction with the users during the entire project duration, providing valuable insight into the daily workings across projects and departments. The design team balanced spatial design that enables employees to be more productive in their daily work challenges. The office also incorporates sensory technologies to assess, in real time, whether the spaces are operating as they should, measuring CO2, noise, luminance, temperature, and air quality.
