Spotlight on Fourfront Group’s design for the dynamic, collaborative new workplace of supply chain software provider JDA.
JDA’s move from its long-standing Bracknell office to new Grade A offices nearby was prompted by the desire to bring its employees together in a more contemporary workspace. The client wanted to promote collaboration and communication within an efficient, visually appealing layout. The new office also needed to include elements from the successful design created by Fourfront Group’s design & fit-out company Area for JDA’s Experience Centre in The Gherkin, London.
The working areas in the new space incorporate little pockets of space for ‘bump moments’, encouraging people to meet and chat. There are booths for privacy or quiet working and small meeting rooms suited to team collaboration.
Elements such as vibrant use of colour, louvre ceiling effects, fin walls, plants and contemporary lighting combine to create visual interest and a sense of style. The front-of-house areas are clean and slick, designed to welcome and impress clients.
