Joules - A Flexible Fit…
Featured in Architects Datafile
“The key motivations for bringing the teams together under one roof were improving efficiency, collaboration, and creating a unified team spirit. This was alongside the creation of the physical embodiment of the brand in the town it was established in. It was an opportunity to create a space that lives and breathes the brand values.”
Mark O’Neill - Managing Director, Edge
Architects Datafile have published an in depth project report on Joules head office in Market Harborough. The report touches on all aspects of the project, from flexibility and challenges of the design to wellbeing of staff and sustainability of the building.
“The internal layout of the fully accessible buildings have been carefully considered to allow teams to better connect and collaborate, through visual and virtual connectivity of spaces, inside and outside. The layout of pathways and connectivity was considered in both specification and fitout, which involved looking at the time staff were using certain facilities, and testing different desk arrangements. The open plan areas also feature screens which display company updates and social media.
The working areas have been divided into ‘neighbourhoods’, with each tailored to the individual department’s needs. These neighbourhoods contain local activity-based settings and communal areas. The spaces have been designed and set up to create flexibility in ways of working from extensive collaborative work spaces to easy connectivity with team zones and a desk booking system.”
