Upgrading Orega’s Workspace

The design of the Mark Lane project is a proactive response to the evolving office usage post-pandemic, incorporating flexible workspaces, upgraded technology infrastructure, and enhanced health and safety measures. This thoughtful approach aligns with the changing needs of businesses and professionals, ensuring the workspace is visually stunning, adaptable, and conducive to occupant wellbeing.

Orega’s design philosophy moves away from a one-size-fits-all approach, celebrating diversity across its multiple locations to ensure each workspace has a unique identity, tailored to its specific surroundings. For the Mark Lane project, inspiration was drawn from the building and the local area, establishing a visual link with its colours.

Gold detailing, initially found in the lift lobby, inspired key features within the space. Collaborating closely with the design team, our AC400 ceiling systems using Zircon RB65 expanded mesh finished in RAL1036 were specified, serving as a unifying element that connects different communal spaces and strengthens the overall design coherence. Chosen for its versatile and unparalleled design functionality, the systems contribute significantly to the intended ambiance of the space.

The sense of luxury is accentuated by integrating brass tops throughout the office, adding a lavish touch, and coordinating gold taps and gold iPads in the kitchen. These elements collectively contribute
