be in close proximity to a collaborative area as well as to semiformal meeting rooms . The second floor accommodated a ‘ backof-house ’ setting while 50 % of the third floor accommodated a client-facing experience , including various sized meeting rooms as well as a 14-seater boardroom along the north westerly side of the building .
The breakaway space , entitled the Lifestyle Centre , plays a significant role in allowing staff to take a break and relax in a café-style setting , complete with a barista . Whilst the primary purpose of the Lifestyle Centre is as a breakaway space , it is also hoped that staff will use it as an informal meeting space .
The interior design can be described as tranquil with a modern touch . The look and feel is light , bright and modern , incorporating a large amount of greenery . A neutral colour palette has been created through the use of concrete and warm
colour tones , contrasted with pops of colour in the furniture and décor items . A colour scheme incorporating blue , green , terracotta and yellow tones was used strategically throughout each floor to add modern flair but also to evoke the appropriate mood for each workspace environment . Blues were used to create a peaceful mood in areas of focus , greens were used in semi-focus environments and terracotta / yellow tones in open , fun and collaborative settings .
Warm timber textures and patterns can be seen throughout each floor in elements such as furniture , fittings and planters . Nature-inspired patterns in floor rugs , muted geometric wallpapers and carefully curated artworks add a subtle but lively touch in select places . All this creates a calm yet inviting setting for open collaboration . The result is a balance of sophistication and fun which provides MRoA with a world-class office space .
