In total Ageas Group has invested almost €100 million in bringing all its employees into single buildings in Lisbon and Porto, with Broadway Malyan's design approach reflecting a desire to transform, not just how people work but also how they feel in a post-pandemic world.

The psychology of the workplace has seen a huge shift since the challenges of the pandemic and so it was important that the modern office met the evolving needs of a workforce that has in many instances been away from the traditional work environment and has adapted to different ways of working.

Central to the approach was the also the idea of people being able to work anywhere so throughout the offices are a range of spaces that encourage both high and low energy work, enabling people to work alone or together.

Healthy workplaces that prioritise and promote the wellbeing of end users are also a vital aspect of modern office design and so there are areas both inside and out that encourage interaction, whether for team-focused work or important places of distraction from high focused work.
