With the trend for remote working continuing, Fathom Architects has designed an office for property group The Crown Estate "for all the stuff that happens away from your computer screen".
Located in St James's, London, 6 Babmaes Street responds to the fact that The Crown Estate's staff have been largely working from home since the pandemic.
Acknowledging that not all activities can be completed effectively at home, the building primarily offers spaces for colleagues to come together or meet with customers.
The office is designed to promote wellness and collaboration
There are few places to sit down and work individually at a computer; instead, spaces are designed with a focus on meetings and collaboration.
"The post-Covid office landscape needs rethinking," said Harry Godfrey, associate at London-based Fathom Architects. "When individual desk-based tasks can be done from home, workspaces become about teamwork and collaboration," he told Dezeen.
It features a range of different lounge and meeting spaces
Organised over four levels, 6 Babmaes Street features a mix of meeting rooms, workspaces and lounge areas, as well as areas that can be used for events or wellness activities.
Every floor is slightly different, responding to the specific uses of each space. However, the entire interior has a retro feel that references the decade when the building was constructed, the 1970s.
