The Wayra Office Transformation
Synnott Design's approach to the Wayra Office project shows our commitment to creating spaces that not only address neurodiverse needs but also foster a dynamic, entrepreneurial atmosphere conducive to innovation and collaboration. Here’s how we integrated these principles into the design:
Designing for Startup Success
The vision for the Wayra Office was to establish it as an accelerator hub for startups, embodying a - theatrical startup design.
Overcoming Wayra’s Design Complexities
- Efficiency and Interaction:
A primary challenge was designing a layout that maximises operational efficiency and fosters interaction among individuals. The design needed to ensure active engagement and productivity across all teams.
- Budget Constraints:
Managing a tight budget while fulfilling all design and functional requirements was crucial.
- Departmental Interaction:
Encouraging inter-departmental collaboration through strategic spatial layouts was essential to promote knowledge sharing and innovation.
- Live Environment:
The office had to be designed as a live environment that adapts to the dynamic, fast-paced nature of startup culture.
- Spatial Constraints:
Navigating physical space limitations to maximise usability and comfort.

Functional Startup Spaces
To optimise the layout for efficiency and interaction, Synnott Design conducted time in motion studies similar to those used in their pharmacy projects. These studies helped assess and enhance productivity by determining the most effective placements for different work areas and ensuring that the office layout facilitated smooth, natural movement patterns. This approach minimised wasted time and maximised engagement among staff.
Future - Ready Design
The reimagined Wayra Office resulted in a significantly more productive working environment. The diverse meeting and workspaces catered to different activities and needs, supporting a spectrum of neurodiverse conditions and working styles. The strategic design promoted a lively, interactive atmosphere that encouraged communication and collaboration, directly contributing to the vibrancy and effectiveness of the entrepreneurial hub.
