Allianz – TSK

Everything begins with insight

To begin with, TSK ran a workplace consultancy workshop with key stakeholders to understand the drivers of the project and establish what they wanted to achieve with their new workplace. The Time Utilisation Study TSK conducted concluded the team didn’t need as much space. Allianz were confident they could successfully reduce the size of their office – and make the space better.

Design demands decisions

Allianz wanted to create an amazing experience for their people, focused on wellbeing, collaboration and connection. To do this successfully, they needed a better building for a better workplace experience.

Meeting the challenge

Time was of the essence for all involved in this fast-track eight-week project. To complicate things further, the building also had two other fit-out projects taking place simultaneously. The first floor was the only floor in the building with a vaulted, high-level ceiling (4m). To address this, TSK brought features down to a 2.7m level so when you’re in a breakout space or client lounge, it doesn’t feel so vast.

An office with purpose

There are two distinct functions of the space: a training area and a secure micro office.

We installed two-folding walls for open-plan meetings and presentations for both functions and a future-proof AV solution to meet their long-term needs.

Product Choices

A vast range of our products were selected for this project as they not only seamlessly aligned to the vision for the space but also the needs of the clients and members of staff who will be enjoying them. Being trusted to be part of a project this size and a global client was a privilege for us.

The beautifully crafted lines and enveloping design of the high-backed Ilk chair make it the perfect soft-seating chair for a project of this nature, especially in breakout and social areas. Ilk’s sleek lines and smooth contours creates a wonderfully organic silhouette, helping brining a statement of warmth whilst providing visual and acoustic privacy benefits. When paired with the Margin coffee table its becomes a natural pairing for Allianz’s smaller breakout spaces.

Throughout the relaxation areas, social and collaboration spaces, combinations of our products perfectly compliment the design vision. Allianz and TSK chose to incorporate Relic, Relic Bench and Stool, Scandi chairs and Stools for their unrivalled comfort and seamless aesthetic when used together creating.

The larger breakout area designed to encourage colleagues to come together to relax, socialise and enjoy each others company in a space that takes inspiration from the comforts of home, included our Snug Modular sofa, Scandi Lounge Chair and Wrapt Coffee table embracing bold colour choices and fabrics.

Good to go

Collaborative spaces, training areas and breakout environments account for most of the 14,000 sq. ft. footprint, with workstations only taking up around half the floor plate.

This new Allianz workplace supports development, growth and learning. Taking lessons and cues from the contemporary world, it’s now ready to meet the challenges of an evolving and adaptable future.
