Breakout, Meet, Create: Spaces for Every Moment

At Ben Johnson Interiors, we design breakout, meeting, and collaboration spaces that support the way your teams actually work.

From informal pods and soft seating to statement boardrooms and vibrant work cafés, every space is designed to inspire connection, creativity, and engagement.

Using activity-based planning, we create purposeful zones that support different tasks and working styles, from quiet focus and neurodiverse friendly areas to collaborative team zones and social hubs, resulting in a flexible, functional workplace where people and ideas thrive.

Spaces That Bring Teams Together

Work cafés and breakout areas are the heart of modern offices, informal hubs that foster collaboration, creativity, and social interaction. Thoughtfully designed, they provide versatile spaces for meetings, dining, and team engagement, strengthening connections across your business.

We tailor breakout and meeting spaces to how your teams work, from quick, impromptu discussions near workstations to dedicated collaboration zones. Solutions include high tables with stools, acoustic pods, and soft seating, enhanced with feature lighting, flooring, and acoustic treatments to make every space functional, inviting, and inspiring.

High-Performing Meeting Spaces

While breakout areas are ideal for casual collaboration, we also design spaces for focused and confidential discussions. Depending on your needs, this can include quiet pods, 1:1 spaces, meeting rooms, and fully equipped boardrooms, each carefully planned with the right balance of acoustic performance, lighting, comfort, and functionality.

Boardrooms are client-facing statement spaces, combining feature lighting, bespoke joinery, acoustic treatments, and ergonomic furniture to create functional, visually impressive rooms that reflect your business’s professionalism and values.

Designing Workspaces to Create

Well designed breakout areas and meeting rooms do more than provide a space to meet, they fuel creativity and collaboration. Informal pods, flexible breakout zones, and thoughtfully planned boardrooms give employees the freedom to step away from their desks, exchange ideas, and explore new perspectives.

By combining comfort, functionality, and inspiring design elements like feature lighting, acoustic treatments, and flexible layouts, these spaces encourage innovation, spark fresh thinking, and help teams bring their best ideas to life.
