Epson

Epson is a Japanese multinational electronics company focused on solving societal issues through innovations in home and office printing, commercial and industrial printing, manufacturing, visual and lifestyle.

Epson faced some familiar hurdles in migrating from one office building to another.

Its evolving hybrid work model required a different approach to workplace design - one that could deliver a range of flexible work settings for its people, while catering for its clients too.

The Clarendon Works is a best-in-class sustainable office development, EPC A rated and targeting BREEAM Excellent. Our design had to reflect those green principles.

The single biggest challenge was time. An expiring lease on Epson’s existing premises, meant a firm deadline was in place to redesign 30,000 sq ft of office space.

The result is a workplace that not only entices people back to the office, but empowers them to choose where they want to work.

• Breakout areas are located at the heart of the workplace. Light, open and with external views, they not only connect the office to the outside space but are cleverly positioned by the staircase, creating footfall across both floors.
• There are rooms for first aid and wellness, a multi-faith setting, and tiered seating for town hall meetings and social gatherings.
• A dedicated customer demonstration space comes complete with meeting rooms and a product display area. It integrates projection capabilities, allowing Epson to showcase its products and their technicality.
• What’s more, we’ve even produced useful guides for employees, educating users on how to get the best from each distinct space.
