OVERVIEW

The brief was to move the five individual companies that form the MAKO Group into a new single storey office space, effortlessly uniting them within a ‘home from home’ environment.

Collegial Empowerment: the creation of a unique environment that breaks away from stereotypical workplaces by creating a vibrant, energetic, entrepreneurial and collaborative space – with a design that clearly suggests a well-established company. The aims were to make everyday business easy for employees and visitors alike and to ‘give back’ to staff, who work long hours, through facilities such as an integrated bar and gym, massage and games areas.

Space planning was key to creating a collegial heart to the business and bringing people together from the Group’s different businesses as a single, streamlined family, made up of different individual personalities. Standout design features range from giant fish-tanks to a stunning ‘shark fin’ wall with a bespoke trading stock graphic.
