Competition winners! Productive Office-scapes: the new offices for Green Network Energy
The proposal features the design of the new 2,000 sqm office spaces for UK energy supplier Green Network in Croydon, UK
Binom has been chosen to design an exciting and innovative working environment for Green Network, a leading supplier of ecologic energy in UK and Italy. Following the principle that staff should be given control and flexibility in their work environment, Binom's crafts a variety of spaces that enable more connections helping people to interact.
One of the key drivers of the scheme is the idea of generating a palette of reconstituted materialities, where custom-made surfaces, objects and spaces are built up again from parts.
The proposal also explores the concept of Productive Office-scapes, creating an environment that contextualizes members of staff with the concept of energy by allowing them to relax using human powered devices. A range of atmospheric spaces to relax and switch off where people can become aware of their bodies through active engagement with the space while creating a sense of community.

IF THE SUN contemporary dance piece first rehearsal in Jordan
Binom is proud to unveil images of our first set design for dance company Min Tala, 2016
Binom is proud to present the set for IF THE SUN as a collaborative experimental work between Binom as architects and spatial designers and the team from Min Tala as experienced choreographers and dancers.
An interesting piece choreographed to be danced in open spaces in different cities. The brief called for a low budget creative spatial arrangement which could be manufactured by the dance company in the few days before the performance.
