Interior innovation at the Bruntwood Neo co-working spaces

Neo is an £8m redevelopment of the former 12-storey Bank House building and is Bruntwood’s most evolved collaborative workspace to date. The word ‘Neo’ is taken from the Greek word ‘neonate’ which means a ‘fresh, revived form’.

Working with Bridge Architects, our brief was to create, innovative, forward-thinking spaces for meetings and co-working as a communal facility for occupants in the building. The ultimate objective is to create a space that will help people work efficiently and effectively, with wellbeing at the forefront of the plans.

Futuristic meeting rooms, social zones where people can meet for coffee in a stylish kitchen, nomadic zones where workers can quickly unpack and work for an hour, and comfy lounge seating areas for short-term focus work all come together in the space.

Project Manager Bruntwood

“We wanted an attractive, innovative space with good design that would ultimately help people. For example, when a client takes one of our serviced offices, we also include the meeting room rates within that price.

The well-being of our people here is also very much at the forefront of our plans. All new customers are given a complimentary fit-bit, we have quiet working areas, a lounge area with high stools for hot desking and innovative height-adjustable desks.

Our team created the following spaces:

A mix of bespoke seating booths, a carefully selected range of seating types and settings and a communal kitchen island had been arranged, providing sophisticated, informal and flexible workspaces that give customers a choice and foster a sense of community for businesses to connect
100 Fusion benches of which had been installed across the two floors of serviced offices
12 height-adjustable desks across the co-working space
B-free high table and stools with wireless charging ports
The Reply chair (used in both the serviced offices and meeting space) and a height-adjustable SMART interactive screen.
