What are the benefits that VEE Technologies and it’s employees get by blurring the lines between workplace and park within the office?

Workers at the V5 facility consistently provide feedback that their working environment is distinct from typical offices and that the setting of this facility is invigorating. This “office in a garden” setting creates a sense of being surrounded by a refreshing landscape, as the garden is always visible through glass walls. Notably, engagement and productivity levels are elevated in this workspace, as the exposure to greenery contributes to stress reduction. Breaks are particularly impactful, given that employees can unwind in the garden, instantly uplifting their mood.

With the fact that the office has been built using recyclable materials such as steels and networks of flexible structures. What benefit does that material brings to the design?

The primary advantages of this design include sustainability and a minimised carbon footprint. With an intent to transform the building into a cafeteria upon the business park’s full operational status, the design solution facilitates remodelling the structure for a different purpose within a few years. Hence, implementing a flexible grid structure proved advantageous in terms of cost-effectiveness and time efficiency.

Steel structures offer a sleek and modern appearance and speed up construction and reduce labour requirements. Design flexibility is also an added factor contributing to cost savings over the project’s life cycle.

What are the reasons for using recyclable materials?
Environmental sustainability, waste reduction, cost savings, energy conservation, and reduced GHG in processing raw materials are some advantages of using recyclable materials.

How much percentage of costs can be saved by using solar panels?
At the Vee Technologies V5 facility, significant cost savings of approximately 15-25% have been observed through the utilisation of solar panels. The extent of these savings is contingent on the efficiency and usage of the solar panels, as consistent maintenance plays a crucial role in enhancing their productivity.
