Brief
Volkswagen occupied a shared open-plan workspace alongside other companies and sought to make their environment more distinctive and functional. The primary goal was to bring more colour, contrast, and identity into the shared area while improving its usability. A key requirement was the addition of a modular storage system that could help subtly divide the space without compromising openness. Additionally, they needed to reconfigure a small existing meeting room and office into two private offices, each with a designated one-to-one meeting zone featuring comfortable soft seating.
Design
Our design team developed a cohesive plan that introduced both vibrant colour schemes and practical spatial zoning. The open-plan area was revitalised with a mix of sit/stand desks and fixed desks, supporting flexibility and varied work styles. Careful attention was paid to the layout to maintain collaboration while allowing for clearer divisions between zones using the bespoke storage system. The two private offices were designed with soft furnishings and natural tones to create relaxed, informal spaces for focused work and private conversations, enhancing both comfort and function.
What we delivered
We delivered a comprehensive, turnkey solution that blended form with function. The newly created offices were tailored for professional privacy while accommodating casual one-to-one meetings. Across the entire space, acoustic wall panels were installed not only to manage sound effectively but also to double as artistic focal points, adding warmth and texture. Volkswagen’s team visited our showroom during the design phase, allowing them to handpick finishes and furnishings that aligned with their brand personality and vision for the workspace.
Outcome
The result is a rejuvenated, multi-functional office environment that supports productivity, collaboration, and wellbeing. The colourful open-plan area now feels dynamic yet organised, and the private offices offer calm, stylish retreats for focused work and intimate meetings. Volkswagen now benefits from a more defined identity within a shared space, while employees enjoy improved acoustics, ergonomic flexibility, and a welcoming design aesthetic. The project successfully combined practical needs with creative touches, leading to a transformation that exceeded expectations.
