A cutting edge work and innovation space for NatWest’s digital teams.
LOM architecture and design delivered NatWest’s new Open Experience digital innovation centre in London, working in collaboration with concept designers Graven.
This new flexible working environment is layered with a series of multi-use work settings designed to accommodate the needs of the highly creative Open Experience team.
The design stripped back the space to its original structural shell – exposing columns, concrete soffits and reconfiguring the space to create a flexible new layout.
Breakout areas have been identified with consideration to natural lighting and plants have been added, supporting wellbeing and creating a richer staff experience.
A series of mobile acoustic panels have been used through the space to create separate areas within the floor that the OX team occupies, alongside the wider NatWest digital team.
Write-on magnetic fixed panels and sliding doors have been added to create brainstorming areas supporting impromptu meetings.
A 60-seat presentation room allows for larger team meetings, events and engagement with the wider business.
“Open Experience is a human-centric approach to innovation, and one method for creating the future. It can be used for everything from designing new products to finding new ways of connecting with customers.”
