Employees are given the freedom to choose how and where they work, with options ranging from open seating to private meeting pods and innovative bike desks. This flexibility not only elevates comfort but also boosts productivity, making the workspace adaptable to various needs and working styles.
Meeting and Training Rooms: The large meeting rooms and dividable training rooms are designed with practicality and flexibility in mind. A neutral color palette of white, brown, and light grey forms the foundation, with subtle accents of blue to maintain brand consistency.

The use of greenery complements the neutral palette, while the addition of natural materials like wood further emphasizes the connection to nature.
