Amidst changing workplace dynamics, du must be commended for investing heavily in future-forward spaces for its employees, providing them with not only a state-of-the-art environment but also one that fosters collaboration, engagement and growth. ”

We thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the du team to materialise their inspirational vision for the space which supports their transformation to a key player in digital telecommunications through design, culture, productivity, and employee wellbeing. Revealing our design using Virtual Reality was an exciting moment! Our in-group Interior Designers, MEP Engineers worked seamlessly with specialist consultants and ISG, and we are proud of the outcome.”
