Aegon

Aegon, the UK’s largest platform provider for pensions, savings, and investment products, embarked on a relocation journey to revitalise its Peterborough office space. To foster a refreshed and dynamic work environment, Aegon sought a new, larger space that would accommodate their evolving needs while providing amenities conducive to both productivity and employee well-being.

The Aegon team envisioned a workspace that would facilitate various work modes, from focused individual tasks to collaborative endeavours, while also serving as a welcoming environment for client engagement activities. They needed a partner to transform their vision into reality, creating a space reflecting their brand identity and values.

The DENTON team was entrusted with crafting Aegon’s new workspace. The team designed a versatile layout with a Scandi-inspired aesthetic, ensuring that every aspect of the space would contribute to productivity, comfort, and collaboration.

To cater to different work preferences, DENTON incorporated a variety of agile workspaces, including touchdown areas for individual tasks, quiet work, and meeting pods for both planned and spontaneous interactions. Focus booths and private office spaces were also integrated to provide employees with undisturbed environments for concentrated work and confidential discussions.

A focal point of the office is the client-experience lounge, designed to encourage casual interactions and brainstorming sessions. This area features a large touch screen, agile furniture for spontaneous collaboration, and bookable rooms equipped with bespoke acoustic panels for enhanced privacy and comfort during meetings.

The DENTON graphics team drew inspiration from the local surroundings and nature to create striking visual elements throughout the office. Bold graphic acoustic panelling and custom glass manifestations adorn each meeting room. Additionally, a graphic wall in the client experience room serves as a dynamic backdrop for presentations and events, and the feature wall in the kitchen and breakout space further reinforces the natural geometric theme and complements the designer’s interior scheme.

Spacious Kitchen and Breakout Area:

The office includes a spacious kitchen and breakout space, featuring a high table kitchen island with bar seating to encourage conversations among staff. Booth seating provides a sociable atmosphere for informal meetings and collaboration. Additionally, a pool table is available for the team to unwind and relax away from their desks during breaks.

Ample Natural Light and Beautiful Views:

The office is exposed to ample natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. With beautiful views of the surroundings, the space promotes mindfulness and wellbeing among employees, contributing to a positive work environment.
