Tomorrow’s workplaces are being (re)imagined, and JLL’s North West office embodies the ‘next normal’. The design provides multi-functional spaces that support the role of the office as an ideas factory and hub for collaboration, while responding to the need for a healthy working environment. Aesthetically, natural elements are seen in timber finishes and greenery, while a modular design provides flexibility now and in years to come. The inclusive design celebrates collaborative working while providing a healthy office environment. We ensured the workspace catered to everyone. From clear contrasting iconography and signage to differing finishes for the visually impaired. Rooms dedicated to personal wellbeing have also been included, along with a Wellbeing & Multifaith Room with an abundance of natural light and plant life. Here not only can people of religious faiths can observe their rituals, but the space can be used for meditation and mindfulness practices. Sustainability was core to the design from the outset, in line with JLL’s UK net zero carbon and global science-based target commitments including WELL, BREEAM and SKA. Biophilia is key, with over 100 plants introduced, innovative NAVA ‘active green walls’, and drawing on attractive and stress-relieving views for employees. A circadian lighting scheme was designed to adjust the colour temperature during the day, supporting the body’s natural rhythms. The design minimises disruptive noise and facilitates privacy, with individual telephone booths and focus rooms for calls, as well as sound baffling fabrics and panels, and sound masking. Embedded throughout, circular economy principles minimise the embodied carbon in the fit-out. The kitchen and reception worktops are made of recycled yoghurt pots! 70% of the former office clearance was reused, achieving over £40,000 in savings (using re-purposed, instead of new, furniture), along with 45 tons of CO2(e) savings and diverting 15 tons of products back into reuse.
