Oxford Policy Management

What We Did

Working closely with the senior leadership at Oxford Policy Management we developed a design that prioritised collaboration over traditional desking. The spaces include informal meeting booths, phone pods for quieter calls, 4-person meeting pods, larger meeting rooms, a wellbeing room and a large, multipurpose breakout area with tiered seating for all hands meetings. Inclusivity played a fundamental role in the design decision making process. This included creating quieter focus areas, clear walkways, coded way finding with braille, considerate use of contrasting colours and use of acoustic panelling to minimise sounds distraction. The earthy colour palette used gives a quality feel to the space. Biophilic design was incorporated into the project with real planting hanging from room dividers and within collaboration tables. The workspaces maximise the natural light from the floor to ceiling windows. Our sustainable furniture strategy enabled the reuse and repurposing of half the existing furniture which was supplemented with eco-friendly pieces from our cradle-to-cradle supply chain.
