Workplace Wellbeing Design
We design workplaces genuinely built around the people in them — integrating brand, culture, and employee wellbeing into every aspect of the physical environment.

There is a meaningful difference between a space that functions adequately and one that genuinely supports the people in it. Workplace wellbeing improves how people feel about coming to work, how they collaborate, and how long they choose to stay with the organisation.
At Footprint, we design workplaces with the understanding of how physical environments affect human behaviour, considering light, acoustics, variety of settings, connection to nature, and the expression of a shared identity, to create workplaces that inspire.
We work with businesses across the UK to integrate these principles into new fit-outs and refurbishments, tailoring our approach to the culture and values of each organisation.
We work to understand your organisation before we start designing for it. The values, identity, and culture of a business should be reflected in the physical environment — not imposed superficially, but woven through every considered design decision.
The introduction of natural elements — planting, natural materials, views, and daylight — into the working environment has a well-documented positive effect on stress, concentration, and overall wellbeing. We incorporate these principles thoughtfully and proportionately.
Different work requires different environments. We design for the full range — deep concentration, informal collaboration, formal meetings, social connection, and private conversations — so people are never forced to make do with a one-size-fits-all solution.
Acoustic design integrated from the outset, ensuring the space supports both concentration and communication without unnecessary noise or distraction.
Lighting that responds to human needs — supporting focus, reducing glare, and using circadian principles where appropriate to support the natural rhythms of the people in the space.
Interior design addresses the aesthetic and material qualities of a space. Workplace wellbeing design goes further — it considers the psychological and physical experience of the people in the space, integrating your organisation's culture, values, and people strategy into the design process from the beginning.
Yes. Many of the most valuable wellbeing interventions — improved lighting, acoustic treatment, biophilic elements, and more varied settings — can be introduced as part of a focused refurbishment.
Absolutely. The principles apply at any scale. A smaller office that is well considered in its design can have as significant an impact on the people in it as a much larger one.
We invest time in understanding your organisation before we begin. That understanding informs every design decision we make.
