Leading design firm Jacobs have recently completed another location for one of their long-time clients in the financial services sector, to create in their lakeside campus of Westlake a dynamic and flexible work environment. The Jacobs team, based out of Dallas, developed a range of solutions for the client influencing the project strategy, in order to create a superior design and ultimately the best possible user experience.

The beautifully open-plan space is divided into multiple neighbourhoods and different space typologies, to provide different work settings. Moving through the space, it is noticeable how much of the furniture is not fixed, creating a highly flexible space for experimentation and easy adaptation to future needs. Our Bleacher seating perfectly complements this design choice, bridging the gap between a meeting room and an auditorium-style space. With their great flexibility, employees can instantly create the desired environment for any interaction, making a personal, informal space that will foster a flow of inspiration and new ideas. 

Whilst collaboration is a key part of a lot of the roles fulfilled at the Westlake location, employees still need touchdown spaces where they can be fully focussed and alone. Being upholstered on three sides, our Portals booths give the much needed acoustic privacy, without being totally enclosed behind a door, and disconnected from the buzz of the office. Employee health and wellness has been considered at every step of the design, and to allow for longer periods of comfortable use, the desks have sit-stand functionality, and space to wheel in an ergonomic task chair.

In several different iterations through the workplace, our Snugglestors provide an upholstered alcove for breakout discussions, colleague catch-ups or team touchdowns. Highly customized to the look and feel of each space that the Snugglestor was placed in, they provide an ideal working zone with integrated power and lighting.

The Railway Carriage booths provide a different type of space, acting both as an ideas hub for collaboration as well as a relaxed, focus space for concentration, they create ideal touchdown points throughout the office. Whilst these can be fitted into an alcove, or up to a wall, they are built to be a freestanding piece, and easily relocatable, so they fit in well with the inherently flexible theme of the space.
