the solution

After proposing a number of hybrid working scenarios, the final design for Chememan’s workplace saw a split in workstyles across their two floors. One floor was geared for hybrid work – with a mix of traditional private offices and hot desks, along with a newly-implemented booking system to facilitate the flow of employees each day. The other floor sticks to the traditional private rooms and cubicles that long-term employees are more used to, allowing them to continue enjoying their way of work too. This creates an office environment that offers a range of workspaces that appeal to collaborative and focused work.

Paperspace took in a lot of considerations to bring Chememan’s intangible corporate identity into their workplace. In their reception area, visitors will be greeted by a featured limestone wall – sourced directly from Chememan’s headquarters and factories. We emphasised experience – visitors would get a figurative and literal sense of the service that Chememan will be able to provide them the moment they step into the office. The limestone and other elements found in the products are also used throughout the office, such as their meeting rooms.
