Neurodiverse Tech Office

Client's Vision

The client sought a new office space that could reflect their people-first culture while responding meaningfully to the needs of a neurodiverse team. With over 400 employees and a raw three-storey shell, they needed more than a layout; they needed a design philosophy grounded in empathy, adaptability, and wellness.

Design Strategy

We led with research, surveying teams and holding stakeholder interviews to align design intent with actual needs. Five core themes; activity-based working, acoustic clarity, spatial diversity, well-being, and sustainability, shaped the layout. The result: a workplace where movement is intuitive, focus is protected, and connection is encouraged at every level.

Key Challenge

Initial leadership priorities leaned toward open-plan collaboration. Our research revealed a different reality: the staff craved more privacy, focus zones, and sensory-sensitive design. The challenge was reconciling vision and lived experience without compromise, while staying true to sustainability goals.

Our Solution

We created layered spaces with varied acoustic profiles and seating arrangements, ensuring options for deep focus and energizing collaboration. Amenities were distributed vertically to foster movement and discovery. Carbon-neutral flooring, FSC-certified veneers, and remanufactured furnishings balanced aesthetics and environmental stewardship. Biophilic elements softened the tech-forward interiors with a grounded, calming presence.
