Informal meeting areas are softly furnished work pods and hanging padded felt dividers that help dampen noise levels while providing pockets of space . A large portion of the furniture in this space is refurbished from existing office furniture . Desks were cut down to smaller sizes , legs and surfaces were recoated , and lockers spray painted and fitted with new handles and locks to make attractive storage space .
The separate workspaces share common colours , textures and furniture , providing continuity for the brand and are visually connected within the active precinct . The ground floor retail space showcases new furniture designs manufactured by Tétris Furniture Solutions , feature pieces from local designers , and imported signature brand chairs . This blend of furniture provides a rich demonstration of workspace options for clients while providing flexibility for staff in their daily work environment .
In both workspaces , attention to detail and the inclusion of beautiful materials and finishes create a sense of welcoming comfort . In the showroom downstairs , brass inlays , timber flooring and terrazzo tiles with couches and marble coffee tables are complimented with original artworks provided by the Berman Contemporary art gallery as a rotating exhibition space . On the first floor , quartz and timber countertops , virtual meeting rooms with deep red or subtly patterned wallpaper finishes , and soft hanging light features result in a range of inviting areas for working .
The combined power of the innovative use of space , workspace design focused on the visual and physical comfort of the end user , and a range of work style configurations has resulted in an office culture that is proudly on brand for both JLL and Tetris Design and Build .
