Our clients

More than a lunchroom. Rethink breakout spaces.

Your breakout area is the heart of employee well being and creativity. 

As workplace productivity experts, we know that every element matters – from the perfect acoustic treatment to creating distinct zones that encourage both brainstorming sessions, innovation and quiet reflection. When designing your breakout space, we consider:

  • Space flow - create natural transitions between work and relaxed zones with thoughtful layout planning 
  • Activity zones -  design dedicated areas for dining, informal meetings, quiet work, and social interaction 
  • Lighting design - blend natural light with feature lighting to energize and inspire
  • Materials and finishes - choose durable, beautiful materials that reflect your brand and create atmosphere

We go beyond simply designing breakout area fitouts – we craft focused destinations within your workplace. Our in-house designers leverage custom joinery and thoughtful furniture placement to create inviting spaces that encourage collaboration and naturally draw your team in.

FAQs

Here is a list of our most commonly asked questions.

How disruptive is a breakout area renovation?

The level of disruption depends on scope. Minor updates like furniture and lighting can be completed over a weekend. Full spatial reorganizations typically require 4-8 weeks. We implement staged construction plans that allow most businesses to maintain operations, isolating work zones and conducting major works outside business hours.

What's involved in reimagining office layout for breakout spaces?

Creating effective breakout areas often requires analyzing entire office dynamics. Our workplace consultants evaluate traffic flow, noise levels, natural lighting, and employee interactions to determine the most effective and efficient breakout locations.. This might involve relocating departments, modifying partitions, or adjusting mechanical services. Our approach balances regulatory requirements with practical considerations like project budget and existing infrastructure.

How do you determine the right size for breakout areas?

We calculate space requirements based on your total headcount, peak usage patterns, and intended functions. Industry standards suggest allocating 10-15% of total office space to breakout areas. Each business and their use case is unique.

We'll analyze your specific needs to recommend optimal proportions that support both collaboration and quiet work.

What about existing services and infrastructure?

Relocating services like plumbing for coffee stations or electrical for charging points is often necessary. We conduct thorough infrastructure assessments before design work begins, identifying potential constraints and opportunities. This ensures proposed designs align with building capabilities and compliance requirements.

How do you ensure the investment delivers value?

We focus on creating multi-functional spaces that maximize return on investment. This might mean designing areas that serve as informal meeting spaces during peak hours and quiet work zones during off-peaks. Every design decision balances aesthetic appeal with practical utility, ensuring spaces remain relevant as your organization evolves.
