DESIGN STUDY / 02

A room for focused conversation

An original office design & fit-out concept exploring how material, proportion and practical use can work together.

A room for focused conversation — original design concept

The brief

Workplaces designed around people, technology and the move-in programme. This study explores a setting where daily use and a clear visual language guide the design together.

The design thinking

Forma is the workplace specialist within Fitworks. We connect the needs of people with the realities of a floorplate, the technology they use and the programme needed to make a move work. The concept brings that approach into a spatial idea, using a restrained material palette and clear relationships between the main elements.

From concept to your property

A visual direction is the beginning of a conversation. Translating it into a project requires measured information, a site review, specialist coordination and an agreed specification.

  • Shell condition and workplace density
  • Meeting rooms and acoustic requirements
  • Furniture, IT and AV responsibilities
  • Phasing and move-in constraints

THE STUDY IN DETAIL

A closer look at the detail.

The workplace must coordinate acoustics, furniture, IT, AV and building services around the way each room is used.

Illustrative design study · No client or completed build is claimed.

Illustrative workplace redesign

The detail study narrows the wider brief to a room for focused conversation. Balance concentration, conversation and teamwork with a plan based on actual work patterns rather than headcount alone.

Design decisions

  • Agree focus, meeting and support-space needs before the test fit.
  • Treat room privacy as a complete construction requirement.
  • Plan refurbishment phases and the move with the operating business.
ILLUSTRATIVE PROJECT TIMELINE

From the first brief to handover.

This is a planning scenario, not an actual project record or a promised duration. External review periods, site conditions and supplier lead times require separate confirmation. Some stages may overlap.

SPECIFICATION & QUALITY

Details that can be reviewed.

Concept palette

  • Navy acoustic upholstery
  • Warm timber tables
  • Clear glass with considered privacy treatment

Proposed quality records
