Descripción del Proyecto

The design of the Ubisoft office in Abu Dhabi by Spacewell Interiors demonstrates a profound positive impact on both people and the planet, seamlessly integrating the four ambitions of Material Health, Circular Economy, Carbon Impact, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion into the overall design intent. People-Centric Design: The Ubisoft office is meticulously crafted to enhance the well-being and productivity of its users. By creating bright, flexible, and welcoming environments, the design encourages movement and collaboration, essential for the go-getters and future thinkers at Ubisoft. The incorporation of writable surfaces and delicate colors aligned with the company brand fosters creativity and deep thinking, providing a conducive environment for innovation. Additionally, rest areas offer employees a place to recharge, promoting a healthy work-life balance and reducing burnout. These elements collectively contribute to a workplace that prioritizes employee health, happiness, and productivity. Material Health: In designing the Ubisoft office, careful attention was given to the selection of materials that promote a healthy indoor environment. By using non-toxic, sustainable materials, the office ensures better air quality and reduces health risks for its occupants. The use of writable surfaces and thoughtfully chosen furniture and lighting fixtures reflects a commitment to material health, ensuring that the workspace is not only functional but also safe and healthy for daily use. Circular Economy: The design also incorporates principles of the circular economy. By selecting durable and sustainable materials, Spacewell Interiors ensures the longevity of the office furnishings, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing waste. The design promotes flexibility, allowing the space to be easily reconfigured as needs change, thus extending the lifecycle of the interior elements and reducing environmental impact. Carbon Impact: To address carbon impact, the design integrates green spaces and biophilic elements such as trees and natural materials, which not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also contribute to carbon sequestration and improved air quality. The introduction of natural light reduces the need for artificial lighting, thereby lowering energy consumption and reducing the office's carbon footprint. These measures demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) are fundamental to the design of the Ubisoft office. The space is designed to be accessible and welcoming to all employees, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. Collaborative areas are designed to encourage interaction among diverse teams, promoting a culture of inclusivity and teamwork. The office layout and amenities are thoughtfully planned to accommodate a variety of working styles and needs, ensuring that every employee has the opportunity to thrive. Conclusion: The Ubisoft office in Abu Dhabi is a testament to the power of design in positively impacting people and the planet. Through careful consideration of material health, circular economy principles, carbon impact, and diversity, equity & inclusion, Spacewell Interiors has created a workspace that is not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable and inclusive. This project sets a high standard for future office designs, showcasing how thoughtful design can lead to healthier, more productive, and more environmentally responsible work environments. The design and construction of Ubisoft’s Abu Dhabi office by Spacewell Interiors significantly contribute to the 'People Together Planet Forever' ambitions through the integration of Material Health, Circular Economy, Carbon Impact, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Material Health In the Ubisoft office, careful selection of materials prioritizes the health and well-being of its occupants. Non-toxic, sustainable materials ensure better indoor air quality and reduce health risks.

This approach minimizes environmental impact and supports sustainable resource management. Carbon Impact To address carbon impact, the design incorporates biophilic elements such as green spaces and trees, which enhance the aesthetic appeal and contribute to carbon sequestration. Natural lighting is maximized to reduce the reliance on artificial lighting, thereby lowering energy consumption. These measures demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and reducing the office's carbon footprint. The incorporation of natural elements not only helps in carbon reduction but also creates a more pleasant and inspiring environment for employees. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion The design of the Ubisoft office places a strong emphasis on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I). The space is designed to be accessible and welcoming to all employees, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Collaborative areas are created to encourage interaction among diverse teams, promoting a culture of inclusivity and teamwork. The office layout and amenities are thoughtfully planned to accommodate various working styles and needs, ensuring that every employee has the opportunity to thrive. This approach highlights the importance of creating a workplace where diversity is celebrated and everyone can contribute to their fullest potential.
