Switzerland-based software systems provider for financial services, Temenos relocated their office in the UK to a more significant location for their growing team. DENTON was appointed to create the best possible working environment for how their team works.

It was essential that the team had access to natural light and views of the outdoors to increase productivity, reduce eye strain, and maintain a positive work environment. The space also needed to encourage social interaction with acoustic solutions to create places to meet and work together as well as areas for focused work without feeling disconnected.

Our team identified areas within the floorplate that offered the best natural light and positioned a range of work settings in these locations. Open-plan desking was located along the south-facing elevation with the best sunlight and views across Hemel Hempstead and the countryside, situating the latest design in pod room technology for cellularisation through the centre of the space.

The office layout is designed with clusters of collaboration areas to naturally break up the desking to foster social interaction and collaboration. Various acoustic treatments were also suggested to eliminate sound transfer between different locations while serving as a visual reminder of where the varied work settings are located.
