Location: Helsinki, Finland
Area: 1200 sq. m
GI designed the interior for YLE’s Uutismaisema news team. The brief was to transform the traditional room office into a modern multi-use office space. The new office layout and interior design supports perfectly YLE’s innovative and interactive work culture as well as management strategies. The space was fully renovated and all furniture and flooring was renewed.
The work zone and the meeting area Tori (Finnish for market square, plaza) form the center areas. The round sofa furniture functions as a formal and informal meeting point. The meeting rooms surround the Tori area making the reporters’ work zone quiet and peaceful.
The work zones were designed based on the needs of the teams. Elements of nature can be found in the design in the olive tree in the center of Tori and in the forest themed prints in the ceiling panels and meeting room.
YLE’s new brand was the basis for the bright color scheme. The staff got to influence the color choices in their work zones. The strongest colors can be found in the carpet tiles and other textiles.
