Breakout Areas

Q: How much space do I need for a breakout area?

Even a small corner can be transformed. We tailor the design to whatever footage is available, from a compact two-person nook to a large multi-zone social hub.

Q: Can you include power for laptops?

Yes, we integrate power and USB charging points into soft seating, tables, and counters so your team can work comfortably away from their desks.

Q: Do breakout areas actually improve productivity?

Research consistently shows that employees who take regular breaks in well-designed informal spaces are more productive, creative, and engaged. A good breakout area is an investment in your people.

Q: Can you integrate a coffee station into the breakout area?

Absolutely. We regularly combine breakout areas with tea points and coffee stations, including plumbing for bean-to-cup machines and Zip taps.

Informal spaces where staff can step away from their desks to think, collaborate, and recharge.

Our trades team delivers a complete, ready-to-use breakout space.

Staff need spaces away from their desks to think, collaborate, and recharge. A well-designed breakout area is not a luxury. It is an essential part of a productive workplace.

Why Breakout Areas Matter

The traditional office model of rows of desks does not suit the way most teams work today. People need spaces for focused work, spaces for collaboration, and spaces for rest. Studies show that employees who have access to well-designed breakout spaces report higher job satisfaction and are more engaged with their work.

Beyond the Basics

For businesses that want to go further with staff wellbeing and culture, we can integrate gaming areas: table tennis, table football, pool tables, or console gaming stations. These are particularly popular with technology and creative sector clients.

Integrated Technology

Every breakout space we deliver includes power and USB charging, Wi-Fi access points, and digital screens for informal presentations or company communications. So your breakout area doubles as a fully functional alternative workspace.
