Amnesty International
Overview
Amnesty International, the world’s leading human rights organisation, undertook a project to restructure its office space, transitioning from four levels to three to optimise efficiency and facilitate the leasing of one floor to an incoming tenant.
The refurbished office underwent a transformation that prioritised the creation of functional spaces to meet diverse needs.
Sustainability was a key focus of the project, with material selections and energy performance services. Where feasible, existing furniture was incorporated into the scheme to minimise wastage and promote eco-conscious practices.
The brief
The brief focused on creating a collaborative, wellbeing-centred environment for staff.
The redesigned office includes functional spaces tailored to various needs, such as a games area, a spacious communal breakout area to foster engagement, and a dedicated wellbeing suite complete with a multi-faith room.
A retreat room was also introduced, offering a tranquil space for relaxation, ensuring the workspace supports a holistic employee experience.
Key Pieces
Breakout Aea Seating
Furniture: Collaboration Booths
Manufacturer: JDD
Location: Breakout Area
The Collaboration Booths by JDD in the breakout area offer flexible, informal meeting spaces that are readily available for spontaneous collaboration. Designed to support the client's need for accessible meeting points, these booths provide employees with comfortable, semi-private spaces for gathering, connecting, or working independently throughout the day. The booths bring both practicality and style, encouraging interaction and adaptability in the workplace.
Open Plan Private Booths
Furniture: Penelope Phone Booths
Manufacturer: JDD
Location: Open Plan
The Penelope Phone Booths by JDD bring essential diversity to the open-plan layout, creating private spaces within the larger workspace. These booths offer a practical solution for taking calls away from desks, enhancing privacy and focus while subtly dividing the open area. Their design ensures seamless integration into the space, balancing openness with areas for quiet concentration.
The Solution
Sustainability was a priority throughout, guiding material choices for the furniture selected, while existing furniture was integrated where possible to minimise waste.
The project’s outcome was a revitalised workspace that seamlessly blends functionality, sustainability, and employee wellbeing.
