The demands of commercial interiors have evolved radically in recent years and as a result, approaches to office design have had to adapt, modernise, and cater for hybrid and dispersed teams. We stay at the forefront of these innovations, to provide organisations with transformative office interior solutions in Manchester, Liverpool and across the North-West.
Technology has transformed how we work. Many organisations are moving away from traditional business and office models, embracing change and reinvigorating working practices with smart office solutions. Penketh Group partners with leading brands to bring you the most innovative workplace technology advancements, helping your office collaborate, create, share information quickly and achieve your goals.
Breakout areas would once have been dismissed as an unproductive use of office space by some old-school business owners, but today‘s forward-thinking organisations know better.
They understand that breakout zones are essential for maximising productivity, boosting morale and managing stress. Professionals work at their best when access to flexible spaces that promote time away from desks and screens are readily available. What’s more, we know that most collaboration happens on an informal, unstructured basis, and breakout spaces let those impromptu creative moments happen when casual conversation generates insight and innovation.

We aim to create a flexible, inclusive, user-focused, high-performance space that facilitates everyone regardless of personality, job title or physical ability We’ll make sure your new or refurbished workspace reflects your brand, enhances your business, and works the way your people work.
In breakout areas, we recommend modular, adaptable furniture, to allow the same space to be used for different situations – from an oasis of quiet for focused working to a vibrant venue for social gatherings. It’s also the perfect place within the office to experiment with exciting colours, intriguing textures and the latest interior design trends.

Strategic design
Have a break and you’ll come back refreshed. Take a problem into a new environment and you’ll see it differently. Those are the principles that make office breakout areas so valuable when it comes to promoting creativity and productivity.
Like other workplace social and collaborative areas, breakout zones also boost physical and mental wellbeing. Team members thrive with time away from cluttered desks and flashing screens. And they enjoy opportunities to socialise, be creative and build a sense of community.
