CBRE Office Space of the Year

La Mondiale Europartner - Office Space of the Year 2018

La Mondiale Europartner has been based in Bertrange since 2007. They were occupying about 1,000 sqm and were only 70 employees. Since then, the team has grown considerably, as they are now 200 employees. The expansion project has been successfully completed and the size of the office space has increased to around 2,500 sqm. The decision was made to carry out a new interior design for this expansion. More than half of the spaces in the new wing are collaborative spaces. The luminosity has been the object of constant search in the new design. All workstations are oriented near the windows and grouped into blocks of four people. Openwork panel systems are also installed, allowing for separation while letting light through. This move resulted into rethinking the way of working. Thanks to the new arrangement of the offices and the new atmosphere, collaboration and interaction between teams is stronger. A "zen" room has been created for employees who would like to take a break. A library enhances the circulation area and small desks encourage discussion in a relaxed way. A vegetated wall, as well as many other hanging shelves decorated with plants, bring a natural touch to the space. A kitchen corner is available for employees who would like to have a coffee or to have a bite. On the terrace, a vegetable garden is at the disposal of the employees.

The team has really taken ownership of the place, all generations combined. The feedback from our employees on this new layout is so positive that we are currently carrying out some office staging in the rest of our offices to inject some of these improvements into our older premises. Our teams interact more with each other and work more in line with project dynamics. From now on, we will also be able to receive our partners directly in our spaces.
