After designing the retail concept for Direct Lease, we were tasked at Buro Loods to create an interior concept for the Direct lease office in Hengelo.
We were required to make a style guideline and direction for the client’s office. It didn’t involve the final design stage.
The office interior should represent Direct lease’s identity. Blue is an accent color and is used for color blocking in corridors or dividing furniture. The industrial structure is exposed to create an urban, contemporary feel which is balanced out with green zones, warm and bright colours, and informal finishes.
Privacy and focus. Flexibility and adaptation. Productive work in an informal atmosphere. Fresh look and feel.
In the office there are 8 large fixed working rooms. All have transparent partitions for better light and spaciousness. Around them there are 5 focus rooms. With green restorative areas for privacy and concentration. There is a large flex-workshop office space, 2 meeting rooms that are at the core of each floor. As well as a large canteen and pantry/coffee area. In between areas are surprising, unexpected social spaces with various seating arrangements.
Ground floor has 4 large enclosed office areas (3,4,14&9), 2 focus rooms (11&13) around the pantry and meeting room. Pantry area (12) is an open plan, connected to the corridor, booth and seating area (6).
The booth seating is a custom design that offers a cozy nook for a social interaction or informal work call. The orange color creates a strong contrast to the blue.
A large pantry surrounded by high seating is for a fast coffee break. The focus rooms are accessible from the pantry. This area serves as a connecting point to the offices. It has a friendly bright color look and feel.
An enclosed space for privacy and focused work environment. The curtains are green, soft and create a recreational mood.

The meeting room is easily accessible from the staircase and is at the center of the floor. The canteen(18&16) takes a large space with a view to the DL showroom downstairs.

The office spaces are bright and open due to glazed partitions. The floor material is vinyl carpeting for good maintenance. Acoustic material is necessary to reduce distractions from surroundings.
The canteen has an inviting lounge-like atmosphere. There is a game corner and the pallet consists of pop colors, feels energetic and promotes positive mood.
