tp bennett’s design for insurer Aviva’s London headquarters at EightyFen represents a milestone in the organisation's commitment to fostering a positive workplace.
As the original architects of EightyFen, we leveraged our intimate understanding of the building to create a fresh, sustainable and modern environment for Avivas client’s and main hub for its London-based employees.
Using the building’s signature light-filled atrium, the design creates visual connection and transparency across the business, focusing energy and attention inwards. Aviva’s various business units have been brought together in one central location, with open plan and agile workplaces, organised in neighbourhoods with an integrated central booking system, and comprehensive smart sensors, to help colleagues plan-ahead and work together.
A bespoke sustainability strategy aligned the design brief with Aviva’s #ESG programme, including their climate focused targets. Working closely with the client as well as Hilson Moran, 24 Ltd, Overbury, Arcadis and multiple suppliers, this strategy set 105 environmental and social metrics over the project’s design, construction and operation phases.
The project’s achievements included optimisation of operational and embodied carbon, responsible sourcing and specification of circular materials, health and wellness, social value and equality, diversity and inclusivity.
As well as sourcing products using ‘AD Lib’, tp bennett’s proprietary responsible sourcing platform, the project achieved one of the most comprehensive embodied carbon calculations for a fit-out on record – with more than 500 products assessed.
The workspace is a testament to the evolving landscape of modern offices, where design plays a pivotal role in driving culture and shaping the way people work.
