Turnkey Interiors embarked on an ambitious company interior design project to create an innovative workspace for SubjectWell, a leading clinical trials technology company. The primary goal of this project was to develop an environment that fosters productivity, collaboration, and employee well-being while reflecting on the client’s cutting-edge and client-focused ethos. The design had to seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic appeal, ensuring that the space not only met the practical needs of a dynamic tech company but also provided a stimulating and inspiring atmosphere for its employees. Key features included open-plan work areas to enhance team collaboration, private meeting rooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology for confidential discussions, and ergonomic workstations to promote comfort and health. Additionally, the integration of natural light, modern design elements, and versatile communal spaces aimed to boost creativity and engagement among the staff, ultimately supporting the client’s mission of advancing clinical trials through innovation and efficiency.
