When you visit Artsdatabankens offices in Trondheim, you are welcomed by an environment developed for an efficient workday with a high degree of focus. The environment contributes to good interaction between colleagues, which help to lower the pulse and create wellbeing. Much of this thanks to conscious use of different color and materials, a thoughtful floor pan, well planned lighting and a stunning view of Trondheimsfjorden and Munkholmen outside.

Artsdatabanken serves as a national source of information on species and ecosystems in Norway. When relocating to new offices at Pirsenteret, Signed by Sensa was engaged to assist throughout the process, from concept to completion.

As the officespace lay almost paralell with the fjord, the floor plan has been created so that the worplaces in open plan are facing the water. This with the intent that as many employees as possible can enjoy the unique view. The workplaplaces are diveded into smaller zones by multi-room and small meeting rooms to reduce both visual and auditory noise and easily allow for smallscale conversations without disturbing other colleagues.
