Inside Reach Robotics’ New Bristol Office

Reach Robotics, a technology company focusing on creating the future of gaming by fusing robotics, reality-bending technology and competitive play, hired workplace design firm Interaction to design their new office in Bristol, England.

“After gaining an in-depth understanding of how the Reach team wanted to function (and ensuring they were involved in the design) Interaction delivered a creative space that will serve to enhance the company’s growth and continued success. A stand out aspect of the new workspace is the laboratory area. After analysing and questioning the initial requirements for this, the Interaction team utilised their workplace design experience to offer up solutions that had not previously been thought of. The result is a bespoke area that will effectively meet the company’s needs for research and design. Originally due to be handed over on a Monday, the project was delivered ahead of time on the previous Friday. This ensured the team could be fully operational at the start of a new week – great news for a fast-growing company where time is of the essence. They key features include: workshops and labs that cater for the teams’ R & D needs, a modern testing room with sliding doors, which can be closed for filming or privacy, a breakout space that doubles up as a social area and one that facilitate game research and design, a showcase area for the Reach prototypes, including the popular MekaMon range, drying and bike-racks for those cycling to work – which in turn will help to spark productivity and creative thinking,” says Interaction
