Kelly Robionson est passionnée et croit fermement dans l'importance de la santé et du bonheur au travail. Durant sa carrière, elle a acquis une profonde compréhension de l'importance d'utiliser tout l'espace et son simpact. Elle s'attache à créer un environnement de travail, à l'usage et la jouissance de tous les travailleurs, centré sur l'amélioration de la santé et du bien-être. Cela coorespondait à la vision de Headspace  comme à notre propre pensée, les personnes qui se sentent bien ont un meilleur rendement.

Ainsi lorsque les fondateurs de Headspace ont demandé un environnement où les employés pouvaient être les versions les plus heureuses et les plus saines d'eux-mêmes, cela a semblé être le projet idéal pour Kelly qui s'est associée avec Joelle Drury de Wolcott Al pour entreprendre le travail. Ensemble elles ont tracé leur chemin et ont commencé la tansformation de l'espace de production de 1 700m² en un environnement équilibré et ludique qui allait être le premier siège social intentionnellement conçu pour Headspace.

The work space was designed specifically to have a layout which encourages employees to move around frequently throughout the day to help promote healthy habits. This was achieved by having open desks and meeting rooms located furthest from the rooms designed for relaxation , as well as having additional work spaces which allow workers to vary their locations throughout the day. We provided acoustically enhanced quiet working pods – our Railway Carriage –  in array of vibrant colours to reflect their vibe.  Their aim in designing this workspace to help employees be more energised and focused has evidently been achieved as one employee says “the layout of the office naturally encourages people to move around a lot on a daily basis”.

Culture manager Tom Freeman felt passionate about bringing the outside world indoors and working with elements of nature wherever possible, which worked wonderfully with Kelly and her Californian aesthetic and focus on natural elements. Kelly worked alongside Joelle to create a free flowing user experience that would allow the qualities of nature to work harmoniously within the working environment they were creating. While doing so keeping in mind the company values which include kindness, creativity and authenticity. There was a wide range of working space within the design ranging from a large café and auditorium that have been combined to allow large events and meetings to meditation pods designed to allow employees to take a short relaxed break to relieve stress from their heavy workloads.

We are proud to have worked with Headspace and Kelly Robinson on the creation of their new headquarters, with their promotion of happier, healthier workspaces directly linking to our core belief.  We’d love to discuss how we can help you with your project,  just click here to get in touch.
