ramsac Offices – Guildford

Oktra utilized warm tones to give a welcoming and cohesive feel at the ramsac offices in Guildford, England.

Previously split across two floors, ramsac wanted to bring their people together on one floor to increase communication and build their workplace culture. Oktra created an open, social space that encourages interaction, and defined the activities taking place in the office to create a purposeful design. ramsac’s new Guildford office will allow them to proudly host clients while putting their people first.

ramsac’s primary focus was their staff’s wellbeing and company culture. They wanted to give their people space to get away the main working floor and introduce diversity into their working day. A combination of social, collaborative, and focus areas give employees autonomy over their environment and support neurodiversity.

Located at the entrance to the office, the teapoint serves as the initial interaction with ramsac’s brand, setting the tone with an energetic, welcoming atmosphere and demonstrating their open, collaborative culture. This space can also be used to entertain clients and showcase products, whilst providing transparency between staff and visitors.

By strategically dividing the space into distinct zones, different areas can cater to specific activities, needs, and work modes. Oktra also incorporated an additional step that separates the office floor, giving the social and work environments their own distinct identities.

The newly designed space serves as a dynamic representation of ramsac’s core values. This investment in their business will help ramsac to attract top-tier talent and get the best out of their people.
