The workspace integrates technology, sustainability, and wellbeing, based on Edge’s digital infrastructure that connects interior environment controls through a single cloud platform.
Through the Edge app, employees can customize everything from lighting to temperature, locate their colleagues and identify available working space.
The result is a space that encourages a ‘personal user journey’ through the nooks and corners of three zones.
- The first is a ‘home zone’ for lounging and relaxation.
- The second is a biophilic ‘living room’ for studying and meditation.
- The third is an ‘urban zone,’ complete with a tech playground and two board rooms.
“It’s not the derivative of a trendy coffee bar that may double as an office, but a contemporary space completely tailored to best accommodate the user’s needs.”
