Waulk Mill... the re-imagined workspace, pioneering the future of how we work, providing a 24/7 serviced workspace which aims to connect people and businesses and accelerate the careers of the younger workforce whilst putting the users’ wellbeing at its core.

The project works towards meeting the needs of the protagonists, focusing on younger generations and their expectations for a human-centred workplace. Waulk Mill provides spaces to suit different modes of work, so individuals can work with maximum flexibility and minimum constraints. Research showing that Generation Z respond best to mentoring as a form of leadership in the workplace has informed the concept and design of the project, with the ambition to ease graduates into the world of work and encourage healthy ways of working through mentoring opportunities with other members.

Waulk Mill is designed to provide around the clock amenities to meet work, social and leisure needs of its members, as well as opening up some of its facilities to the public in hope to enrich the local community and break down traditional barriers between commercial workplaces and the community that surrounds them.

Waulk Mill, the workplace of the future.

The hangout is a multi-purpose seating area located on the first floor just in front of the feature staircase connecting the ground, first and second floors. The hangout consists of two sets of bench and table settings and four chain bubble chairs which are suspended from the grid structure which is constructed from black painted aluminium bars welded together. The area provides a space that encourages members to take a break, collaborate and or socialise.
