When Gleeds made a strategic move into central Nottingham, the new office needed to be more than a postcode change. It needed to be a central hub that reflected Gleeds’ global brand, supported local communities and made hybrid working feel easy.
Where we started
Where we focused
The goal was to turn the office into a versatile working landscape. We focused on creating distinct settings for different parts of the working day. The reception and meeting rooms make a strong first impression, while a series of lounges give colleagues and visitors more ways to use the space. The Social Lounge gives people somewhere to eat, gather informally, work away from the open-plan area and come together for town hall meetings. The Street-Side Lounge supports client arrivals, quiet work and smaller meetings. The canal-side lounge adds a softer, more relaxed setting with views over Nottingham Canal. Collaboration was built in at every level. The main boardroom supports meetings of 20-plus people, with acoustic treatment, flexible speakers and two large screens for in-person and global working. The Radcliffe Room gives teams an open space for screen sharing, collaboration and non-confidential client meetings. For quieter work, the focus and learning space supports document reviews, video calls and concentrated tasks, with pods available when people need a little more privacy.
