A highly successful management consulting firm based in Melrose Arch required an interior space that could evolve alongside their dynamic and adaptable work environment. Given significant client requirements in a relatively small space, real estate optimization was of paramount importance.

Through clever planning and leveraging of technology, such as booking systems, we maximized the available real estate by doubling up on functions. For example, office layouts were designed so that unoccupied offices could serve as smaller meeting venues. Additionally, technology in these spaces supported video conferencing and Skype facilities to alleviate demand on formal meeting rooms. Most open-plan furniture is shared, allowing teams to collaborate on project-specific objectives and deadlines as needed.

A variety of communal and ancillary spaces were purposely designed to enhance collaboration while promoting posture changes that contribute positively to staff well-being and encourage interaction. Given the diverse cultural mix of staff, integration was a key consideration in the planning process.

Finally, all planning prioritized access to outside views and abundant natural light—both essential factors in promoting staff well-being, which in turn supports overall performance and productivity.
