BVNK: Light-Touch Office Renovation for a Better Everyday Workplace

A concise refresh with maximum impact. Urban Spaces was appointed to design and implement a light-touch office renovation for BVNK, a global financial services company—delivered end-to-end in two weeks. The scope balanced speed, budget, and minimal disruption, while elevating acoustic comfort, team collaboration, and day-to-day usability.

Objectives

• Improve open-plan acoustics without a full rebuild
• Create semi-private zones for quick huddles and quiet focus
• Upgrade canteen comfort and lunchtime flow
• Add storage and greenery to tidy, soften, and improve air quality
• Complete design and implementation within a compressed timeline

Design & Delivery Highlights

Acoustic performance, elegantly solved

• Acoustic wall cladding and bulkheads reduce ambient noise and echo in open areas, supporting focused work and clear conversations.

Custom joinery for flexible privacy

• Bespoke joinery forms intriguing screens and semi-private breakaway nooks, offering visual separation while maintaining sightlines and light.

Tiered team seating with hidden storage

• A compact tiered seating element creates a natural discussion node for stand-ups and town-halls—doubling as valuable integrated storage.

Canteen upgrades that invite a pause

• Comfortable seating, durable finishes, and improved facilities encourage proper breaks and social connection.

Greenery with a purpose

• Planters and storage cabinets define zones, soften views, and contribute to perceived privacy and air quality.

Quiet when it counts

• New phone booths provide enclosed, distraction-free space for calls and heads-down tasks.

Outcome

• Noticeably quieter open-plan conditions and clearer speech intelligibility
• More usable micro-spaces for ad-hoc collaboration and private work
• Tidier, more organised floor with additional integrated storage
• Happier canteen experience, improving daily rhythms and team culture
• On-time delivery within a two-week programme, with minimal disruption
