Outreach Offices – London
Echospace was tasked with designing a bright and functional space fore the Outreach offices in London, England.
Outreach is a US-based software company who were in serviced offices looking to establish their European HQ in the UK. They chose to occupy two floors within a building that is rated as a BREEAM excellent with low carbon standards.
Echospace worked closely with Outreach; work-shopping ideas and solutions to develop their brief to facilitate rapid growth as well as maximising productivity. The scheme integrated Outreach’s branding into the design, subsequently resulting in Outreach’s design standard for their European expansion. This consisted of depicting Outreach’s branding colours and shapes into the scheme, which was achieved through lighting, manifestation, furniture and finishes.
Inspired by Outreach’s ethos, Echospace included graphics paying homage to Outreach’s ideologies. Furthermore, emphasising the design narrative of belonging and identity, which was crucial to the overall design. As Outreach wanted a create space that would empower their employees, whilst reflecting their brand ethos.
Another aspect that Outreach wanted to achieve was, to create different working environments to accommodate their staff. This was achieved by designing agile areas, for collaborative working, informal meetings, hot desking, flexible spaces for social and casual working encouraging concentration and collaboration. Thus, forming and cultivating a networking hub. A workplace for innovative product development.
