For the refresh of LinkedIn’s MENA headquarters at Business Central Towers in Dubai, SAY Studio drew inspiration from the diverse landscape and history of the city. Through colour, texture, pattern and art, each floor was designed to connect people to one another and with the regional office in Dubai. It was a priority for the design team to create a community of new experiences that brings employees closer together with their teams, encourages them to explore the office, and features creative design elements that reflect the city of Dubai.
A blended neighborhood layout balances workstations with work points to create transitions from assigned desks to a dynamic work environment. The office space also features training rooms, private booths and meeting rooms with state-of-the-art technology to foster hybrid collaborations.
The cafés on both floors accommodate co-working spaces with bold and vibrant graphics throughout the office inspired by the region. Meanwhile our Colour Construct carpet tile collection in style Pixel Square adds a light touch of colour to the floor plan, in a palette of soft neutral and marine-inspired tones including Urban, Seaglass, Aqua, Grey, Beige, Pewter and Steel.
With contracting work by Summertown Interiors and project management by CBRE, the space follows LinkedIn’s latest dynamic work environment guidelines while targeting LEED® Gold and WELL™ design philosophies through the use of sustainable and biophilic strategies.
