Founded in 1963, GBI is a leading company in the engineering and sustainable development sector. With over 450 employees, GBI offers a full range of services, from engineering and project management to the implementation of intelligent systems. The company aims to design a sustainable world while investing in the professional development of its employees. The GBI Hub reflects this ambitious vision with a work environment designed to foster collaboration and innovation. The spaces were designed by Folio Design, and the furniture was selected from distributor Groupe Focus. Together, they imagined a modern and inspiring setting, in keeping with GBI's values.
The bistro, the heart of the offices, is bathed in natural light thanks to a glass structure. Noble materials and wood finishes create a convivial space where employees can meet and exchange ideas. The lounge areas, embellished with tan Orai leather sofas designed by Studio Mark Gabbertas for Allermuir, offer top-of-the-range comfort and add a touch of elegance to the whole.
Meeting and collaboration spaces are designed to encourage efficiency and creativity. Ergonomic tables, modern chairs and glass partitions define spaces that are both functional and welcoming, enabling confidential discussions while maintaining visual transparency. Mobile whiteboards and modular seating complete the flexibility of the layout, responding to the varied needs of the teams. GBI's new offices embody an innovative and sustainable approach, perfectly aligned with the company's ambitions. Thanks to the collaboration between Folio Design and Groupe Focus, this space offers a working environment where design, well-being and performance come together harmoniously.
