Today’s office buildings must integrate the regulatory planning, work conditions, fire security, disabled access, and energy efficiency requirements… Expertise in the solution of these constraints allows the designer to concentrate on the conception of the office space:
The architecture of office buildings should not only improve internal production but also project a positive image of the enterprise towards the exterior.
Visitors should be pampered, and SCOTIA takes care of them from the beginning, starting with the car parks and continuing through the entrance and the waiting area up to the meeting rooms. The other areas are not forgotten and comfort is designed for at all scales (in ergonomics, lighting, and ventilation etc…)
Through the composition of the circulation spaces, and by a careful selection of colours and materials, visitors can be guided without the excessive use of signage.
The conscientious analysis of the brief and a thorough comprehension of the way the enterprise functions are essential in the organisation of the relations between departments and / or services. It is necessary to carefully consider the internal life of the enterprise in order to choose the working spaces that are best adapted to the needs (closed offices or open space ? modularity ? relaxation ? etc…) The treatment of external plantations and a good orientation of the windows can contribute towards a pleasant atmosphere and enhance production.
Through its meticulous design of your office buildings SCOTIA will not only optimise your investment but also your results.
