InfoTrack approached us to develop a plan for their new base in Leeds, as they expand their business throughout the UK. Through Phase 1 of the project, we implemented agile working solutions that promote touchdown laptop working and offer a variety of settings for employees to use beyond their desk. Employee wellbeing was a key consideration in the design, with two rooms adapted as Quiet Rooms or Wellbeing Rooms that cater to all employees' needs, particularly those who require space to practice their faith or have neuro-diverse requirements. Thanks to various settings and easy video meetings, InfoTrack has the flexibility to work effectively from this space.

The design also acknowledges Leeds' industrial history with the use of crittall style glazing and raw metal finishes. Sustainability is a core concept of this design, and we utilized biophilic design, as well as fabrics from a nearby factory, such as flax-based fabric with each colorway named after a local area of London. In addition, we used recycled plastic bottles for chair upholstery. The addition of subtle woodgrains creates a warm and natural feel in this space.

This agile destination office encourages employees to take ownership of their workspace and work as they choose. With Phase 2 of the project about to commence, we're expanding the floorplate to include a large social space with barista service, which will be perfect for team gatherings. We continue to promote agile working with booths and focus spaces to create an adaptable space that caters to the employees' needs.

We enjoyed collaborating with InfoTrack and involving them in each step of the process, ultimately creating a scheme that is perfectly suited to them and their team.
