What makes a workplace genuinely support people's wellbeing? 🌿
For National Wellness Month, we're taking a closer look at 11 Belgrave Road and the role thoughtful design can play in creating a better workplace experience.
In Episode 07 of That Workplace Experience Podcast, Lewis Benmore, Associate at Eric Parry Architects, talks with Dan Moscrop about the thinking behind the project.
The building transformed a tired post-war workplace into a calm, contemporary space with a strong sense of place, while 37% of the existing structure was retained to help reduce embodied carbon.
Wellbeing was considered alongside sustainability from the outset.
A hidden garden and rooftop landscape bring nature into the experience. Sightlines encourage people to move through the building and towards the garden. Flexible amenities support different ways of working, while hospitality-led thinking helps the workplace feel welcoming and intuitive.
Even the journey to work has been considered, with welcoming cycle entrances and a focus on how the building contributes to the surrounding streetscape and community.
Because good workplace wellbeing isn't simply about adding more amenities. It comes from thinking about the complete experience, from arrival and movement to nature, connection, flexibility and those moments when you need to step away.
