their surroundings, provides them with a positive and effective
working day.
As Maersk shares the office space with various smaller entities,
the brief for branding was to be sensitive to all stakeholders, but
to remain within the Maersk guidelines. Using various material
elements throughout both floors creates a fresh, comfortable and
well utilised working environment which fit the client’s brief as
well as the International Maersk Standard. The Maersk workplace
design guideline is to ensure light, bright, open and modern office
interiors of a decent quality and carefully constructed design
of good standard materials with attention to detail. The use of
80
natural materials, colours and fresh look at wall graphics was
encouraged. The look and feel of the office interior reflects the
Maersk brand and also supports the company’s core business
and portrays the values that Maersk strives to share in a corporate
environment on a day-to-day basis. This use of timber tile floors
and oak veneer finishes as well as comfortable carpet colours was
used throughout the space to ensure that the office environment
was not left dark and cold. The materials in the office spaces
had to be carefully selected to accommodate and cater for
the growing number of staff of nearly 200 people on both the
8th and 9th floors.
