PaidHR Head Office, Lagos, Nigeria.
The design of the PaidHR office was centered around one key factor; collaboration. Their former office operated with a closed floor plan, where departments were locked away in separate rooms. This structure weakened team synergy and drastically reduced productivity.
The new site, located in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, offered an open layout with sufficient cross ventilation, making it an ideal foundation for the design vision. Our approach was to create a workplace where functionality meets comfort, and the atmosphere adapts to the dynamic rhythm of modern work life.
During our visit to the old office, we discovered the client’s strong interest in art and culture. This became a key design concept and was implemented across the new office in components such as signage, partitions, murals, and curated art pieces. These elements not only brighten up the space but also spark creativity and uplift the mood of everyone within.
Stepping into this office space, you’re greeted by the geometric cladding and suspended wooden ceiling stretching from the beginning to the end of the office. This feature creates a feeling of boundlessness and freedom, setting the tone for the entire experience.
The first impression of a company sets the tone for the quality of service clients expect. With this in mind, the office begins with a lounge that doubles as a reception. The lime-wash finish, colorful yet minimalist décor, parametric ceiling, and branded accent wall immediately communicates PaidHR’s commitment to high standards and dependable service.
From the lounge, the office unfolds into an open office where we merged the symbolism of the brand ‘PAID’ into an alternative workspace where you can step out of the usual work area into a sound insulated booth making you feel away from the office and in your own bubble.
To accommodate a growing team, the office features multiple meeting rooms, each tailored to a unique purpose. The Lumina Room, with its round table and double whiteboards, creates an intimate setting for focused strategy sessions, while the Veritas Room, furnished with brightly colored sofas, offers a relaxed space for one-on-one conversations.
The Greenwood Room provides a more official setting with earthy finishes like perforated cladding, wooden textures, and greenery for a calm, natural feel. The Igà Conference Room, the most distinguished of them all, combines smart glass, premium finishes, and cultural artworks to create an environment reminiscent of a modern palace council chamber—an impressive backdrop for high-level discussions.
