ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS each space its own identity and reinforces the brand throughout the building.
Sustainability also played an important role in the redevelopment, with solar PV, smart building management systems and sustainable interior finishes all contributing to the building’ s performance. The result is a workplace that feels considered and resilient, with lighting helping to tie together the architecture, interior design and everyday user experience. John Pryor, Property and Development Advisor at CareCo, said“ The rebuild of our Braintree HQ was an opportunity to create a more connected, inspiring workplace for our team. Lighting played a key role in bringing that vision to life, and in conjunction with Cann Creative, Light Forms delivered a scheme that enhances both the functionality and atmosphere of the space, helping to create a welcoming environment that truly reflects CareCo.”
Paul Shoosmith, Director at Light Forms, commented“ CareCo’ s new HQ is a strong example of how lighting can support both the practical and emotional qualities of a workplace. Our aim was to deliver a scheme that felt calm, confident and flexible, while helping the building reflect the character and ambition of the business.” Together, the lighting and interior design have helped create a headquarters that supports CareCo’ s people, celebrates its identity and provides a renewed foundation for the future.
