Background

For over a decade, Amicus and Nokia have shared a trusted partnership built on innovation, collaboration, and a mutual commitment to shaping the future of work. This latest project reflects the strength and depth of that relationship. With a focus on revitalising their Front of House and key communal areas, Nokia sought after a refreshed environment that would honour their rich history while embracing their continued evolution as a technology leader.

The brief called for a space that embodies Nokia’s brand identity; forward-thinking, dynamic, and connected, while creating an uplifting experience for staff and visitors alike. Balancing a defined budget and a tight timeline ahead of the 2024 Christmas period, the project required a thoughtful and agile approach to deliver meaningful impact within practical parameters.

Solution

Our design and delivery teams worked closely with Nokia to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic of their workplace. The refreshed Front of House reception now serves as a welcoming introduction to the brand, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling lighting wall that glows in Nokia’s signature tones. This striking feature creates a modern and refined statement that reflects both their global presence and local identity.

Throughout the office floors, full-height wall graphics showcase Nokia-selected imagery that celebrates the brand’s legacy of innovation and human connection. These visuals bring a striking sense of energy and storytelling to each corridor and breakout zone.

The Boardroom and Breakout areas were reimagined to enhance versatility and connection across the workspace. The operable wall system allows the space to transform effortlessly from an intimate boardroom setting to a large town hall venue. High-performing acoustic treatments preserve privacy and focus when required, while the breakout area fosters a sense of openness and teamwork.

Sustainability was central to every decision. The team incorporated an extensive reuse strategy, including the re-upholstery of existing furniture and the specification of green-rated finishes to reduce waste and environmental impact. This considered approach not only met budgetary goals but also aligned with Nokia’s broader sustainability commitments.

A highlight of the project is the First Nations collaboration with artist Dennis Golding, whose work brings depth, cultural acknowledgment, and a strong sense of place to their Breakout space. This partnership, alongside the inclusion of an Acknowledgment of Country, reinforces Nokia’s commitment to respect, inclusivity, and meaningful community connection.

Benefit

The revitalised Nokia workspace beautifully merges the brand’s heritage with its forward vision, creating a setting that feels both timeless and progressive. The refreshed interiors balance sophistication and vibrancy, with Nokia’s signature colours and lighting features bringing warmth and movement to the space.

The design’s flexibility allows the workplace to support multiple modes of working and gathering, while the sustainable reuse of materials demonstrates a shared responsibility for environmental stewardship. The collaboration with First Nations artists adds a unique layer of cultural resonance, reminding all who enter of the importance of connection to people, place, and purpose.

Through thoughtful design and seamless delivery, Amicus helped Nokia create an environment that not only reflects who they are today but also inspires who they will become tomorrow, continuing a partnership grounded in trust, innovation, and shared vision.
