Inside NewDay’s Cool New London Office
NewDay, a consumer finance provider, specialising in the UK credit card market, recently moved into a new office in London, designed by workplace design firm Oktra.
“They wanted a design that maximised space to promote collaboration and encourage coworking. Working closely with the NewDay team Oktra’s designers held several brain storming workshops to conceptualise the final design concepts. The team worked with and coordinated several structural engineers to carry out this remarkable fit out. The vision was to create a contemporary design whilst retaining the building’s original mid-18th century features. To achieve this Oktra inserted intriguing landscapes and modern shapes against the period brickwork backdrop. The space includes 300 fixed workstations, open plan desking and several meeting pods over an expansive café area. To enhance creativity and productivity Oktra provided NewDay with 75% more meeting space through clever structural space planning. The space allows NewDay to choose how, when and where they work by offering a range of work settings. Each area is designed for a different type of task,” says Oktra
