Julius Baer’s relocation to 8 Bleeding Heart Yard draws young entrepreneurs and employees, offering them a chance to work at the firm and engage the local community. For us, the project began with a comprehensive workplace strategy to transition into agile working, optimizing space for cross-collaboration, creative thinking, and networking. The design incorporates a 1:7 working space ratio, accommodating private meetings, phone calls, and focus work, alongside Zoom calls. At the heart of Julius Baer’s new office is a hospitality focus, offering a premium client experience designed to encourage socializing and hosting. This approach also underlines the firm’s commitment to sustainability, mirroring its green investment ambitions.
