When leading online travel agency Trip.com hired property consultancy HK Surveying & Design for their first UK flagship office in the heart of Edinburgh, their brief was to dream up a playful, exciting workplace that would help attract and retain the best talent. The result? A completely unique design including such unusual features as propellers on the walls, rafts of plants hanging from the ceilings and an intergalactic-themed meeting room. As the project’s lead designer Jordan McCaffery explains, “With the war for talent becoming increasingly challenging, office design plays a crucial role in gaining a competitive advantage.”
