AXA XL Insurance

AXA XL Insurance, a global insurance and reinsurance company, had a vision to transform an existing 65,000 square-foot office space into a hybrid workplace environment. The objective was to reduce the overall footprint, modernize the look and feel and design a connected office space for onsite and remote employees to collaborate.

The design team collaborated with the Hankin Group and AXA XL to incorporate the desired functionally, seating counts, space types and adjacencies. The new hybrid model kept much of the existing construction and transformed it into non-dedicated desking, flexible meeting spaces, collaboration spaces, enclosed conference rooms and training rooms. Using digital modeling, all elements of the layout, design concepts and finish materials were brought to life. The budget conscious design repurposed existing rooms and spaces providing a refresh featuring the replacement of office fronts with glass, an upgrade to the lighting and a ceiling treatment for improved acoustics and visual interest.

The design approach was founded on analysis, discovery, critical thinking and creativity – using integrated delivery from the full team of architects, interior designers and engineers. The resulting hybrid office provides AXA XL’s employees with the desired flexibility in a connected workplace.
