Three floors into one

Casio had been looking to consolidate their Wembley-based headquarters from three floors into one in order to improve communication and collaboration across the organisation.

This became even more important as hybrid working became part of everyday operations following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Relocating to the newly developed Hive Building provided an opportunity to rethink how the workspace should function and create an environment that better reflected the way employees now worked.

Settings in place of rows of desks

Working alongside fit-out partner Zentura, Fluid developed a furniture strategy that moved away from traditional rows of desks and instead introduced a variety of workplace settings that encourage movement and interaction across the office.

Furniture was carefully selected to ensure the workspace could adapt if requirements changed in the future. Particular consideration was given to minimising construction work due to the complex mechanical infrastructure within the building.

Air 3 and Campers & Dens office pods were introduced to provide meeting spaces within the open-plan office. These freestanding pods allow private meetings without the need for permanent structural changes and can easily be relocated if the office layout evolves.

Traditional radial workstations were replaced with electric sit-stand desks used as hot desks, encouraging movement and supporting employee wellbeing.

Additional hot-desking furniture was also introduced to provide employees with a variety of places to work rather than remaining at a single desk throughout the day.

One connected headquarters

One of the most popular spaces within the office is the tea point breakout area. Flexible breakout furniture allows the space to be reconfigured into a demonstration environment where Casio can showcase their range of pianos and keyboards.

This area has quickly become a central hub where employees gather for informal meetings, conversations and everyday interaction.

The completed workspace now provides Casio with a modern office environment that supports collaboration, flexibility and team connection within a single unified workspace.
