Medical Assurance Society sought to create an office environment that supported a strategic corporate cultural change. Creative Spaces undertook an analysis of Medical Assurance through surveys, interviews, workshops and observation studies including an audit of existing and proposed practices. The physical project involved the refurbishment of the head office facility at Johnsonville and refitting to accommodate 100 staff.

Attention to detail of an individual's workspace requirements including ergonomics, was an important part of the design process. In keeping with the client's core values, the fitout conveys and image which is functional, professional, efficient, inviting, warm and friendly. A major feature of the new design is the provision of an excellent range of staff timeout spaces including cafeteria, lounge areas, TV alcove and informal meeting areas. These areas have a vibrant theme conducive to a relaxed feeling of being away from the work environment.
