Their Brief
The brief for this staff room was to provide a stylish, comfortable arrangement which facilitated differing sizes of socialising groups. The client also required more spaces for seating at tables with staff to be able to quickly relax, in a completely different colour scheme from the school colours to create an area that could become an ‘escape’ from school life and could also function as a meeting place for parents as required.
Our Challenge
We had to keep or create arrangements which would encourage staff to socialise outside their own faculty, by facilitating a whole-school approach to sharing ideas. Staff also needed a clear path across two of the staff room entrances with easy access to the pigeon holes and photocopier, and with quick access to hot drinks and snacks.
Envoplan's Solution
We used a combination of large, modular sofas in fixed shapes to accommodate large groups, small tables and movable chairs which have a more “café feel”, and banquette seating which gives a feeling of privacy.
