My stress was gone once I saw the work rolling out the first weeks of planning. And the result is that we are more than six months alone in the building. And that, for me, was the best experience.

The Context

With a growing team spread across departments, Devoteam sought to unite everyone under one roof in a larger shared workspace.

‍

The new building of choice was the triple-certified The Wings, a pioneering project that prioritizes people's well-being, safeguards precious natural resources, and champions sustainability and productivity. To comply with the requirements, we used certified materials and sustainable solutions. With the building getting built during the design phase, our team needed to provide rapid floorplan designs so that the developers could integrate them into their technical plans.

‍

Our priority was understanding the goals of Devoteam and translating gathered insights into spaces tailored for collaboration, focus and the team’s connection.

The Outcome

When designing Devoteam's new office space, we created a cohesive yet distinctive environment reflecting the company's culture.

‍

Vibrant brand colors highlight the personality of each department. The office balances openness and privacy with transparent meeting rooms, open workspaces, private focus areas, and informal social spaces.

‍

Areas like flexible event spaces, phone booths, and connected terraces promote productivity and well-being.

‍

Leveraging The Wings' advanced infrastructure and focus on sustainability, the office translates the company's mission into an inspiring space where teams can grow and build new innovative products. The space provides an agile canvas for Devoteam's evolving needs.

After moving into their new office, the team shared on their social media: “We are immensely proud of our stunning new office space, which reflects our commitment to excellence and innovation.” The kindest feedback!
