Tyro Payments

The Geyer and Valmont teams exploited the existing infrastructure wherever possible, thinking beyond the norm and applying a reuse model throughout the work. Even core components such as the concrete floors and ceiling were not wasted. 
We identified the importance of the staircase and void, and their relationship to the wider space from both a design and functional perspective. The entire team, from design and construction to speciality technicians, nurtured this fundamental aspect, making it a priority component in wider planning and design development. 

Creating a connection
A bespoke central staircase anchors the design, providing internal access to each level, along with a central town hall forum, complete with bleacher seating.

Encouraging innovation
The design incorporates a range of areas that encourage different, innovative thinking, including breakout spaces, training and media rooms, meeting points and a boardroom. 

Embracing difference
The design approach considers the entire sensory stimulation spectrum, from hypersensitive people who thrive on stimulation and gravitate towards lively, vibrant spaces, to hyposensitive people who find this a distraction. The inclusive workplace design implements subtle yet effective strategies that embrace difference and expand choice to create a truly adaptable environment.

Integrating technology
An integrated technology plan was considered from the start, one that would allow staff to use their workplace efficiently via a smart phone and which was centralised through a bespoke staff workplace app.
