Bringing teams together in one location to create a unified identity.

Before collaborating with Factory, the French teams of Sienna Investment Managers were historically split between two different locations. The idea was to bring all employees under one roof in an open space.

But that wasn’t all. The space needed to reflect Sienna IM's identity, collaborative work style, and ambition, with the transition to flex office as the cornerstone.

Transforming the offices into a key space where collaboration is central.

Sienna IM sought a partner with an integrated offer capable of managing everything on a very tight schedule.

It was also our “Future at Work” approach that made the difference. They wanted a partner who could understand not only their operations but also their aspirations. Far from just addressing technical challenges, our project aimed to embody Sienna IM's DNA.

This new space needed to support their growth, enhance exchanges, and above all, engage teams. The goal was to transform their offices into a vital hub where collaboration thrives.

A variety of spaces promoting more flexible and collaborative work.

To truly understand employee expectations, we began with an in-depth listening phase conducted with the help of La Fabrique Spinoza.

This step was crucial for understanding individual needs and work habits, allowing us to design tailored spaces. Based on this feedback, we created a more agile and connected environment. We increased the number of meeting rooms to facilitate formal discussions while adding informal areas for spontaneous conversations.

Quiet pods were also implemented, offering those who need it a place to focus. This diversity of spaces promotes more flexible and collaborative work while respecting personal preferences.

Flex office and refined design supporting well-being and a strong identity.

The transition to flex office at Sienna IM was carefully planned. With a ratio of 8 desks for 10 employees, comfort remained a priority. Acoustics were meticulously designed to ensure confidentiality and serenity, both crucial in the finance sector. Spaces also encourage movement. Standing desks were installed, offering alternatives to traditional workstations. A spacious cafeteria, accommodating up to 70 people, was created to foster relaxation and internal events. The entire space exudes warmth, with custom furniture, elegant decor, and abundant greenery softening the atmosphere.

Sienna IM wanted a space that fully reflected its values and identity. Inspired by their graphic charter, we created a subtle color palette integrated into signage, glass partitions, and even decorative details. To strengthen ties to their brand image, we collaborated with a photographer specializing in nature photography. Her works animate common areas and meeting rooms, adding a refreshing touch and a strong visual anchor.

A project of this scale could not ignore environmental considerations.

From the start, we sought to minimize its carbon footprint.

We chose to repurpose some existing furniture and selected recycled pieces from French and European brands. Additionally, we ensured that materials used were recyclable, reducing environmental impact.

This eco-friendly approach allowed Sienna IM to make choices aligned with its values while achieving modern, functional offices.

This project succeeded thanks to close collaboration with the client and the dedication of our workplace, interior architecture, furniture, and space design teams. Sienna IM trusted us and followed our recommendations, particularly on space optimization, design, and environmental choices.

Through these synergies, we created a workplace that not only meets team needs but anticipates future challenges by transforming work habits.

With its new offices, the Group now has a powerful tool for projecting into the future: a space where every employee can thrive, where daily work is streamlined, and where every corner reflects the company’s identity. All while respecting deadlines and budget—a true challenge met!
