We are delighted to share that our recently completed project, the AA Headquarters, has been named a finalist in the UK Fit Out Awards in the Large Office (£7.5m+) category!
Following our work on the retrofit of Plant in Basingstoke, we were engaged to work on a Cat B tenant fit out to create a new headquarters for the AA. The relocation marks a significant change in the AA’s vision for the future, with a new modern environment to reflect their forward-thinking ethos and evolving workplace needs.
Responding to changes in styles of working, the new space adopts an ‘activity-based working’ model, allowing employees to have more autonomy over the way they work. As employees continue to favour flexible, hybrid work schedules, the reasons for attending the office have become more focused on socialisation and collaboration. Our design provides a variety of alternative work environments, including flexible, collaborative and private spaces, to cater to a diverse range of needs and preferences.
Inspired by the Scandinavian philosophy of hygge, the design focuses on wellbeing, blending the comfort of the home with the productivity of the office. It is targeting BREEAM Outstanding and is WELL Platinum enabled.
