Heya

Heya translated from Japanese means ‘small room’, which we interpreted into a range of small working spaces within an office environment. Open plan has become common within the workplace, which has delivered benefits in productivity through increased collaboration and communication. However, downsides include a lack of privacy, inability to concentrate and too many distractions. As the concept of Third Space has spread, people have sought alternative places to work, collaborate and socialise.

For individuals, Heya creates a place for people to escape, think, and breathe. For groups, Heya creates a place for people to closely collaborate and connect. Heya’s comfort and visual softness allow these small rooms to blend seamlessly into the office, while still providing the closeness and privacy people need to really focus.
