I love colour and encourage the use of it. Boardrooms or transition areas like hallways and breakout spaces are a great opportunity for colour. These are spaces we dont often occupy for long periods of time so the colour adds punch and vibrance.
This image is a great bold use of colour and drama. Not appropriate for all business types of course.
This image is a meeting space at the BBC. This is the perfect example of a space reflecting the company business. The interior speaks volumes about BBC being a cutting edge multi-media company.
From the traditional to minimalist. Whilst this space is distinctly unique, the concept of a different creative environment for a meeting space is becoming the norm. Many clients are giving us the brief for these key spaces to be different, creative, supportive and non-traditional. It's great, it allows our creativity to thrive... This space was designed by Eldridge Smerin.
This image is more architecture related rather than interiors but I have included it because this is being used heaps! Probably because it looks so good. Suspended meeting blocks into the main atriums add real wow to any building. The Telecom building in Auckland has suspended spaces like this.
I this informal meeting room taking informal to far? Or has informal become ridiculous? I love it, we would definitely have a space like this in our office! I probably wouldn't have this as a public space only an internal meeting space but still very cool. Of course this is Google...
Meeting rooms and Boardrooms are seen as such influential spaces for both visitors and internal people. They are spaces where we brainstorm and create growth opportunities for the company. These spaces are no longer formal, stiff upper lipped corporate rooms - we are bringing the personality back!
