When Softcom asked Micdee to create its new headquarters, an opportunity presented itself; one that promised an avenue to birth an office model that communicated the value system of one of Nigeria’s fastest growing tech firms. Softcom envisioned an office that would speak to its people and clients alike and our goal was to create an innovative work environment that stimulated excellent output from her team as well as communicate her commitment to consistently offering expansive values to organizations.

Our design team saw value in the building’s envelope possessing a timeless feature; akin to an artist’s blank canvas that offers the surrounding landscape and beaming interiors opportunity to flourish; hence the use of neutral hues and textured finishes. The almost predictable nature of the facade echoes a calming mental simulation that resonates with the lush greenery that adorns the compound. It also inspires an open embrace that will always welcome Softcom’s staff and visitors.

Studies have shown that one of the most significant factors for efficiency is the immediate environment. This is facilitated by the design of effective workspaces that not only take into consideration the occupants of a space but also the expectations of the space. Having evaluated the nature of work that takes place at Softcom, we ensured that the two floors were adequately segmented to promote the core components of the company; Engineering and Sales. The result is a brighter and colorful ground floor that promotes collaboration and communalism to inspire the millennials that form the core of the company’s staff and a more minimal first floor to communicate competence to clients. This forms a distinction that ultimately plays a major role in how the company operates. Using grounded principles on lighting, ergonomics and colour psychology, we created an office space unique to Softcom and one its people and clients can relate to.
