Interior Design

Great workplace design goes beyond functionality—it creates spaces where people feel inspired, connected, and comfortable. For Grant Thornton, we designed a communal environment that encourages collaboration, relaxation, and team engagement

BuiltFix Group redesigned the Grant Thornton team communal room into a vibrant, modern workplace environment focused on collaboration, comfort, and employee wellness. The transformation converted an underutilized open space into a multifunctional lounge and social hub where team members can connect, recharge, meet informally, and foster a stronger workplace culture.

Key Spaces

Lounge & Collaboration Area

The central lounge area was designed to encourage interaction and relaxation within the workplace. Comfortable seating arrangements, modern accent chairs, layered textures, and open circulation create a welcoming environment for casual meetings, team discussions, and employee downtime.


Feature Entertainment Wall

A bold feature wall with dimensional texture and integrated media elements became the visual centerpiece of the space. The vibrant accent color adds energy and personality while helping create a more engaging and contemporary corporate atmosphere.


Café & Refreshment Area

The communal kitchenette and café section was designed to support team interaction and convenience. Modern cabinetry, clean countertops, pendant lighting, and casual bar seating provide employees with a comfortable space for breaks, coffee meetings, and informal conversations.


Flexible Seating Environment

The layout incorporates multiple seating configurations to accommodate different workplace needs, from collaborative gatherings to quiet moments of relaxation. The furniture selection balances modern aesthetics with comfort and functionality.


Modern Workplace Experience

The redesigned communal room contributes to a more employee-centered office environment by integrating hospitality-inspired design elements into the workplace. Contemporary finishes, soft lighting, and vibrant accents create a more enjoyable and motivating atmosphere for staff and visitors alike.

Details

Color Palette

The project combines neutral gray tones, crisp white finishes, natural wood textures, and vibrant accent colors including deep purple, red, turquoise, and lime green. The palette creates a balance between professionalism and creativity while reinforcing a modern workplace identity.


Materials & Finishes

The redesign incorporated textured feature walls, wood-look flooring, contemporary furniture, sleek countertops, modern lighting fixtures, and minimalist décor details to elevate the visual quality of the communal space while maintaining durability and practicality.


Lighting Design

Layered lighting was used throughout the project to create a brighter and more welcoming environment. Recessed ceiling lighting, statement pendant fixtures, and accent lighting help enhance the atmosphere while improving comfort and functionality.


Workplace Spatial Planning

The space was carefully organized to maximize openness, comfort, and versatility. Strategic zoning between lounge seating, dining areas, and refreshment spaces allows employees to move naturally throughout the room while supporting different styles of interaction and collaboration.
