“Workplace amenities used to be a box-checking exercise, but with office workers now having the power of choice as to how and where they spend their time, we need to be hyper-focused on the employee experience. People want a unique work environment that elevates their productivity and enhances their wellbeing.”
Crosby Nordblom, Senior VP at Nordblom Company
Like a college campus, Blue Sky fosters a single community from a disparate group of individuals.
Common areas, from lounges and coffee bars to shared outdoor spaces, serve as catalysts for cross-company interactions.
Workplace meals become social events, with spacious indoor and outdoor dining areas that provide a stage for casual get-togethers.
These shared spaces accommodate both work and leisure.
In the multi-purpose “UpFlow” room, wrap-around sound and vision walls sync to employees’ standard desktop apps to take presentations to the next level. Virtual walls adapt to suit different activities, from networking events to cocktail parties.
The design takes employee physical and mental wellbeing seriously.
In common areas, LED walls cater for the multiple sensory changes needed at different times of day.
New spaces include a fitness center with sign-up group classes. Mindfulness rooms with soft lighting, soothing soundscapes, and Himalayan salt walls allow workers to unwind alone or enjoy massages, manicures, and guided meditations.
Elsewhere, casual conference rooms transform into ping-pong and cornhole areas, and a tucked-away speakeasy offers an intimate spot for private work or small gatherings.
