Layouts and ways of working
We organise workstations, focused work, collaboration and reception around occupancy, movement and privacy. Hybrid working and adaptable configurations are considered where relevant.
Office design / Sustainable and biophilic workplaces
Workplaces designed to support attention and wellbeing
Design and refurbishment of offices, company premises, professional studios and coworking spaces. BIOMA brings layouts, interior design and nature together around activities, organisational culture and the needs of the people who use the space.
The starting question
How can space support different ways of working?
A conversation that does not interrupt focused work, a meeting with remote participants, an entrance that welcomes clients and colleagues. These situations guide the arrangement of workstations, meeting rooms, informal spaces and break areas, without imposing one model on every organisation.
What we read
Interior design and comfort
Lighting, acoustics, materials and furniture contribute to the same experience. The design connects business identity with everyday use, coordinating building services requirements and specialist input within the appointment.
Nature and break areas
Views, daylight, planting and access to terraces or gardens, where available, inform the design from the outset. Species, placement and maintenance are assessed against the actual conditions of the space.
Materials, resources and living systems
Sustainable offices: resources, adaptability and care
Sustainable design considers reuse of spaces and furniture, material durability, repairability and future adaptation. Biophilic design connects people with nature without automatically promising productivity, health or stress reduction. Where soil, water and biodiversity are within scope, regenerative intentions become context-specific objectives. Any evaluation requires indicators, baseline data and an agreed method.
A proportionate process
From spatial diagnosis to design direction
New premises, relocation and refurbishment of occupied offices call for different approaches. We begin with needs, constraints and budget to agree stages, deliverables, responsibilities and exclusions. BIOMA QuickScan — Habitat Audit provides an initial assessment; Sprint develops a focused direction; Complete integrates design and the delivery activities included in the appointment. Project phasing takes required business continuity into account.

A first conversation
Tell us about the space, its people and what needs to work better
Tell us where the workplace is, how many people use it, which activities it supports and what needs to change. Available plans, attendance patterns, timing and an indicative budget help frame the first conversation. BIOMA is based near Rome, works across Italy and considers commissions elsewhere in Europe.
