At BeyondSpace, we are thrilled to report a recent milestone: equipping the Atkins Headquarters in DIFC, Dubai. Over two stories in Emaar Square, this office makeover spans an astounding 4,000 square meters. This journey has been about combining contemporary office furniture with creative design to inspire innovation, teamwork, and productivity, creating a workspace fit for more than 500 people.
Working Together to Realize a Vision We collaborated extensively with the design team from the beginning to ensure every component of the office furniture matched their concept. It wasn’t just about filling the space with functional items; it was about building an environment that supports a healthy, efficient workflow. At BeyondSpace, we believe the office of today must inspire rather than merely serve a practical purpose. Our aim was to create office furniture reflecting Atkins' creative ethos while supporting staff welfare.
We understood that the office needs to be a place that fosters innovation and teamwork rather than just a place to work. And we’re glad we delivered!
Key Contributions to the Project
1. Ergonomic Chairs: Productivity Meets Comfort This transformation heavily relied on our ergonomic chairs. Designed to accommodate extended seated hours, these chairs offer the perfect blend of comfort and functionality. Their adjustable features—lumbar support, armrests, and height adjustments—help employees maintain good posture and avoid strain. Employees can focus on their tasks without the distraction of back pain or fatigue. Ergonomic chairs are not a luxury but a necessity for a healthy workspace.
2. Flexibility for Modern Work Styles: Height-Adjustable and Sit-Stand Desks Including height-adjustable desks and sit-stand desks was a key element of this project. Flexibility is critical in modern work environments. These desks allow employees to alternate between sitting and standing during their workday, improving posture and overall well-being. By enabling workers to customize their workstations to suit their needs, these desks not only enhance physical health but also boost productivity.
3. Meeting Tables: Promoting Collaboration We installed meeting tables throughout the office, each designed to foster teamwork and open communication. These tables are ideal for strategic discussions, brief huddles, and brainstorming sessions. Whether for formal conferences or impromptu meetings, the tables encourage honest communication and idea-sharing, playing a crucial role in creating an environment that supports collaboration.
4. Cafeteria Space: Connect, Relax, and Recharge A cafeteria is more than just a place to eat; it is a vital space for informal interactions and relaxation. We designed a modern and inviting cafeteria space where employees can take a break, recharge, and connect with one another. A welcoming environment like this is essential for building camaraderie and fostering a sense of community in the workplace.
5. Professional, Elegant, and Functional Boardroom Furniture Decisions are made in the boardroom, so this space required special attention. We selected premium office furniture to provide comfort during long discussions and reflect Atkins' professionalism. From stylish boardroom chairs to sleek, modern tables, this area is designed to impress and facilitate focused, high-stakes conversations.
6. Promoting Balance and Well-Being in the Recreational Area Work-life balance is as important as meetings and output. We created a recreational area where employees can unwind, take well-deserved breaks, and engage in light-hearted activities. This space ensures employees return to work refreshed and ready to tackle their next task. By offering areas for both leisure and informal collaboration, the workplace supports a balanced and positive environment.
7. Collaboration Areas: Encouraging Organic Creativity Some of the best ideas come unexpectedly. That’s why we designated specific areas throughout the office for collaboration—spaces that inspire spontaneous thinking and organic dialogue. These open and adaptable spaces are perfect for team meetings and quick problem-solving sessions, fostering a dynamic environment where innovation can thrive.
8. Office Pods: Quiet Focus in a Busy Environment Sometimes, focused work requires a quiet space. Our office pods provide employees with distraction-free environments for tasks that demand high concentration. Whether it’s a solo project or an important call, the office pods offer a private and efficient workspace.
9. Customized Workstations: Designed for Comfort and Efficiency Every employee has unique needs, and we acknowledge this at BeyondSpace. That’s why we carefully selected workstations tailored to the specific tasks and preferences of each team member. From creative height-adjustable desks to traditional office desks, every workstation is designed to maximize comfort and productivity.
10. Handcrafted Curved Seating: A Functional Design Element One of the standout design features of this project is the handcrafted curved seating. These elegant and inviting pieces encourage social interaction and openness while enhancing the office’s aesthetic appeal. Perfect for informal meetings and casual conversations, the curved seating adds both functionality and visual charm to the space.
