The Brief

Based in the sunny sea side town of Brighton, 15below specialise in creating systems to manage day-to-day travel services.

15below wanted a refreshed space that would suit their International, travel based brand. This required a lively, warm and colourful space, that didn’t feel like a grey corporate office. Collaborative spaces, both informal and formal were essential for all to come together and share ideas and discuss items as a team.

The Solution

A variety of meeting rooms were included in the design, both large and small, with each room being identified with a manifestation of a country 15below have clients located. Meeting pods were implemented for informal meetings, where employees could go to converse in an acoustic bubble, while having all the benefits of charging ports for their devices.

The second floor hosts an impressive entertainment area, complete with a games console and wall mounted television, for workers to take a break and get away from their workstations.

The build covers 3 floors which are interlinked with a new spiral staircase allowing colleagues to move easily between floors. The result is an improvement in communication especially as key cards are only needed for access to the office.

Open plan, cellular offices and breakout areas provide a variety of work-settings. Informal areas have been incorporated in an interesting way using ‘difficult’ spaces with great views. All the conference rooms have media walls and can all be adjusted to cater for different meeting sizes. Both partitioning and furniture are modifiable for easy and quick re-configuration.
