In the 80s people seemed happy enough with their own cubicle and a plywood divider, but those drab offices have become a symbol of the corporate treadmill and it’s rare you’ll still find an office so closed-off and claustrophobic.
However, there is still a reason shows like The Office are so popular and we can’t help but chuckle at music videos like this one by Acicii vs Nicky Romero. Perhaps, some offices have modernised more than others?
In this blog, we take a look at the cream of the crop, the most drool-worthy office spaces in the UK.
Jaywing, Sheffield
Data science-led marketing agency, Jaywing were one of the first tenants to take up residence in Sheffield’s £10m Alsop Fields development. A major redevelopment project making beautiful living and working spaces out of Sheffield’s old factories.
The result of the regeneration is an office space that’s modern, airy, open and extremely spacious. The space lends itself perfectly to collaboration and a general sense of freedom. However, breakout rooms and low-hanging exposed lighting give it a comforting feel, along with some internal perspective and segregation without closing off the space with those ever-unpopular doors and walls.
Jaywing’s Chief Executive Rob Shaw said: The opportunity to create a more inspirational space in a ‘ground-up’ development of a truly modern working environment, married with the rich cultural heritage of the Sheffield steel and silver industry was too good to miss.
