Codan - workplace design

"Modern classic with an edge" was the concept for Codan’s desired identity in the upgrade of their existing premises. In the dark and neutral office building, a new layout opened up for increased daylight in the working environments, and at the same time freed up space for new functions. To accommodate the desire to bring all employees together under one roof, shared workspaces were established in combination with homeworking and zones that encouraged different ways of working. An interpretation of Codan’s distinctive blue colour was made a centrepiece on each floor through a storage solution, while accent colours were used to create an edge in the established zones.

Development of use scenarios that illustrate the possibilities and consequences of introducing home working days, with the involvement of a reference group that gave rise to discussion about future use, work perception and culture.

Organisation of a workshop focusing on tasks and forms of cooperation and highlighting opportunities and challenges in relation to office environments, as well as general introduction and discussion of functional requirements in the interior design.
