Case Study: a private financial services client achieves agile, space-efficient offices with Oktra

a private financial services client cuts office footprint by 50% in 14 weeks with Oktra

Oktra provided an agile office design for a private financial services client, a subsidiary of a major South African bank. The client's challenge was transitioning from a traditional, underutilized office with fixed workstations to a more efficient and culturally distinct space that would support new ways of working and reflect their brand identity.

The solution involved a workplace study to shape the brief, leading to an open-plan design with agile workspaces, a central social hub, and varied meeting areas to break down internal barriers. Oktra's fit-out also achieved a SKA Gold Rating for sustainability by specifying eco-friendly materials and recycling all site waste. The new office enabled a significant culture change and allowed the client to reduce their overall footprint by 50%, resulting in substantial cost savings.
