Ecosurety brings natural world indoors in new Bristol office designed by Interaction

Packaging compliance company Ecosurety has unveiled its new state-of-the-art office in Bristol city centre, which showcases the latest in sustainable design and technology.

The 7,000 sq ft office at Picture House, in Colston Avenue, has been created by workplace design and build company Interaction and features innovative “biomes” which draw inspiration from the natural world.

The aim of the eco zones is to support different ways of working, depending on mood and job task, and encourage movement between separate wings of the office. They include a rainforest biome which has an abundance of greenery and plants where Ecosurety’s staff can socialise and collaborate.

There is also a marine-themed area, which offers a refreshing space for teamwork with cool blues and sandy timbers, and a savanna zone featuring deep rooted plants and warmer tones, which provides a quieter space for focussed working.

Ecosurety employs about 90 people in Bristol and its new workplace also features cutting-edge office technology.

QR codes are situated throughout the office which enables employees to learn about the sustainable furniture and finishes used in its design. There is also a central office app that controls heating, lighting and room bookings which remembers personal temperature preferences.

Steph Housty, head of sustainability and marketing at Ecosurety, said: “The team is thrilled about the new office, which is a physical demonstration of our ethos.

“We highly value our employees’ wellbeing and wanted to offer them a great place to work, whilst meeting high sustainability standards aligned with our purpose to accelerate change towards an environmentally and socially sustainable world. Interaction’s team made it happen, thank you!”

Sara Pasquall, creative lead at Interaction, said: “Ecosurety and Interaction are both proud B Corporations, so sustainability and staff wellbeing were at the heart of this design project.

“It fed into every aspect including the materials we used and the plants we integrated into the design. We used fabric from recycled fishing nets in the marine zone, for example, and the savanna biome includes natural cork acoustic wall panelling.”

The Ecosurety office has achieved a SKA Gold rating which is a prestigious environmental standard for commercial office fitouts awarded by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Sarah added: “Ecosurety have recently undergone a rebrand, which celebrates their unique purpose that ties together nature and data.

“With this in mind, we commissioned local artist Rose Vickers, from Stokes Croft, who has created beautiful art pieces out of old recycled school rules – a symbol of data, numbers, art and creativity coming together.”
