WOW! That stands for new Ways Of Working ;)

Here are a few key things that will help us work better and make our new workspace welcoming for all!

1. Wear your ID Card: We have to wear our ID Cards at all times when we are in the building. Make sure you have your black lanyard, so our colleagues know you are a Perkins&Will staff member.

2. Clean Desk Policy: As we do not have assigned seating, you will need to leave your desk as you found it, leaving no personal items behind. This includes....cups and plates!

3. Cups and plates: You are responsible for putting your cups and plates in the dishwasher at the end of the day. The building cleaners will not do this daily.

3. Library and Samples: We will have a small library in our studio, but we will not have space to store lots of samples. We encourage you to visit the vast array of suppliers and showrooms in the vicinity to check out the materials you need.

4. Benugo Discount: All staff will get a 30% discount on Benugo food and drink from the branches in the building. We also get an additional discount on hot drinks if you use a re-usable mug!

5. Agile Working: Our workplace design responds to current trends, and is perfectly equipped for the patterns and processes we currently have. It is also adaptable to any changes in future requirements.

Workplace Vision

Over the past eight years we have been creating this unique building specifically designed for us to come together and collaborate.

The space is going to be a test bed for ideas, a Living Lab where we get to experiment and show our clients our expertise as worldclass, award winning designers.

01. Workplace Vision 02. Your Workday 03. Building Amenities and Operations

Our studio embraces the building’s philosophy, asserting its presence as an evolving creative lab, an inspiring destination that nourishes curiosity, the imagination, and fosters community. It is a fervent ground for experimentation encouraging risk taking, the testing of new ideas and showcasing the creative process.

It is an empowering place designed with inclusion at the heart, driven by individual agency and selforganisation, where design is the common language for connections. Just as the building transforms London’s urban landscape the new studio is a place that instils a sense of pride and belonging , ready to bring together creative minds to provide answers to some of our biggest world challenges.

An creativeevolving, lab

A beacon of innovation

Designed by our own team, this building is home to the Dar Group companies, and lives in harmony with the heritage assets nearby.

Gracefully hovering above the public realm with architectural vigour, this new addition to the city enlivens the streetscape improving the experience for city dwellers. A mixture of retail and amenity spaces, which include a Café and a public exhibition space, make this a place truly connected to its neighbourhood.

The building is a vibrant ecosystem for connections and knowledge sharing for tenants. Its awe-inspiring architecture, atrium and sculptural staircase, fuel interaction between the distinct businesses who will thrive on the exchange of expertise across disciplines and cement social bonds.

Making connections

Our design is a departure from the convention of a central core office. Instead, its heart is focused around an open atrium. A central staircase ascends across this atrium, together with scenic lifts, both of which serve to connect the businesses and the amenities throughout the building.

The sculptural staircase, which is an architectural and engineering feature, defines the journeys through the space and connects all four corners of the atrium. Its width allows people to meet and converse, without blocking other people’s journey.

10 01. Workplace Vision 02. Your Workday 03. Building Amenities and Operations

Our values

Several ideals ignite our passions and keep us focused on what matters. These core values are the building blocks of who we are and what we stand for. They give us purpose. Our new workplace will be a living representation of our values, which we will be able to showcase with our colleagues, clients, and peers.

Where do I sit?

We invite everyone to explore the space and find spots to work across desks, desks-with-monitors, collaboration spaces, breakout areas, and shared locations around the building.

Free Address: We will have unallocated desks to support our hybrid working model. We have opted to not have a desk booking system so that we can remain agile and creative. This is a continuation of how many of us work now.

Sitting with my team: We invite teams to sit together within the space, please see the diagram for where to start your journey to find a desk depending on your practice group. There are no boundaries for practice areas, and we look forward to the opportunities that 150 gives us to create more inter-practice collaboration.

Making Models: We will have a model shop within our studio as well as a larger workshop in the basement of the building.
