Working on the interior design for the IT research center Beyond.co.uk proved to be a very complex and challenging, but at the same time exciting task. Because of the facility’s distinctive form and function, the designers had to capture and emphasize the specific spirit of the space where the company’s employees would be housed.

To achieve this, the architects developed and reworked their vision in the course of an ongoing dialogue with the client and multi-faceted analyses of their ideas and expectations, often conducted in unconventional ways. This has given the interiors a unique, inspired character to match the lifestyles and interests of their users.

The common denominator of all the functional zones in the facility is their reference to the raw, industrial form of the data center building. However, this formula is being enlivened with a number of treatments, in line with contemporary office design trends. The interiors were designed to be spacious and flexible in terms of their functionality. Where possible, rigid partitions are avoided to allow dynamic modification of the organization of work teams in accordance with the changing needs of the company. In addition, employees will be given tools to shape the climate and practicality of their office on their own
