Vodafone L&D Centre

Vodafone sought a new home for their Learning and Development centre, aiming to create a space that promotes continuous engagement and reinforces learning, distinctly separate from the traditional office setting.

Our vision was to develop an environment inspired by an urban garden community, emphasizing themes of planting, nurturing, tending, creating, harvesting, and sharing.

We faced the challenge of using a refined design language drawn from garden and building styles, with an innovative twist. Small meeting booths featured glass elements reminiscent of greenhouses, while living walls and real plants were integrated throughout. A fresh, natural color palette was chosen, with inventive use of plywood to replicate modern fences and outbuildings.

Upon entering the space, the community theme becomes evident, fostering an atmosphere of shared ideas, collaborative thinking, and togetherness.
