ESP Utilities Group, one of the largest independent multi-utility providers in the UK, set out to create a destination regional hub in Leatherhead: a place where its team would want to come together, connect and collaborate. Designed and built by Workplace Creations, the space pairs warm, natural materials with a choice of settings, including a Portico booth.
One booth, three ways to work
At ESP, Portico was specified with a standing-height desk. That one decision gives the booth three uses: a touchdown desk for a quick task, a private space to jump into for a call, or a place for longer, focused work by bringing in a taller seat. Its level, step-free access makes it inclusive and easy for every colleague to use.
Part of a flexible workplace
Portico sits alongside other Spacestor pieces in the space, including the four-person Portals Huddle and Palisades II zoning. All of them can be reconfigured as the business evolves, which suits a culture that is always changing. Portico in particular can be relocated with minimal fuss, so it can move as the floor plan does.
Why it works
A regional hub has to cater for people arriving with very different plans for the day. A compact, private booth that doubles as a touchdown point means the space works hard without taking up the footprint of a meeting room. It is a simple addition that makes the whole workplace more usable.
Bring Portico into your workplace
Portico is available to order directly from the Spacestor Shop, with UK delivery included in the price. Explore Portico and its options, or read the full ESP Utilities Group case study on spacestor.com.
