Would it be possible to design spaces that really put the focus on people and sustainability? Over the last few months, at Ferrer we have imagined what our new headquarters would be like.
Today we are premiering. We have created spaces that respond to specific needs. Spaces that promote flexibility, collaboration, transversality, innovation and creativity. At Ferrer we are committed to new ways of working and we promote a model with which people have greater flexibility to choose where they want to work from. Because we have proven that face-to-face attendance is not essential.
Our new offices are designed with comfort and well-being in mind, following the criteria of the WELL certification and promoting a biophilic environment. Among other aspects, natural light has been used to the maximum, optimal levels of soundproofing have been guaranteed and spaces that promote physical, mental and emotional well-being have been chosen, such as the Wellness room or the Quiet room.
In addition, we have spaces that follow environmental sustainability criteria, according to LEED certification, in all phases of the project. Our climate system is a key aspect of the remodel. Because not only does it improve temperature control and selection, but it also incorporates two Air Handling Units (AHUs) with filtration and humidification systems to renew the office environment with 100% outdoor air, ensuring that a maximum level of CO2 is not exceeded and controlling the relative humidity inside. It also incorporates ultraviolet (UV) light systems to ensure the sterilization of the air circulating inside.
We are committed to sustainable mobility, with bicycle and scooter warehouses on all floors. Most office materials have been manufactured with their composition and life cycle in mind. In this way, we guarantee that they do not contain harmful ingredients that harm health or the environment and, in turn, promote the circular economy.
With these new ways of working, we have enhanced the spaces where we can interact and collaborate with colleagues. We have innovation rooms, where we can co-create in a space with bleachers and an interactive screen; an agora, the social heart of offices, a place to meet with teams and hold corporate events; and a canteen where we can have breakfast and lunch with our colleagues or, why not, have informal meetings.
Following a hybrid and flexible work model, we have meeting rooms of different sizes and capacities, all technologically prepared to hold meetings with face-to-face and remote attendees. But, in addition, our new headquarters have a multitude of spaces for different working moments.
Truly "for good" spaces, which will allow us to continue generating a positive impact on society.
