space-pod : creating productive commercial interior workspaces: Big English win in Poland

At the very moment that the England football team was crashing out of the Euro 2012 quarter final, Space-pod was putting the finishing touches to a complete redesign and build of a call-centre facility in Poland for Premier Farnell plc. - a leading multi-channel, high service distributor supporting millions of engineers and purchasing professionals globally.

Having worked previously for Premier Farnell refurbishing their London office, space-pod were asked to design a scheme for Premier Farnell's new call centre in Poland. This call centre will become the primary outbound contact centre for Europe, consolidating into one new larger central facility, largely employing new multi-lingual staff recruited locally.

The brief to space-pod centred on a basic requirement to house a fixed structure, i.e. head count, training, meeting rooms, breakout spaces, etc. The USP’s for the scheme were all about fun, a great place to work, attracting and retaining good staff, energy and performance via motivation and well being.

This great brief led us to develop this scheme, which utilises free-flowing curves, pods for meetings and full wall graphics to brand the environment. The scheme has been well received and it seems to be achieving its objectives.

Here's a few pictures of the scheme of works that we completed:
