Intrum Hellas
Bringing 10.000 sq.m. to the future of work!
STIRIXIS Group reimagined Intrum’s headquarters to support their “Work from Anywhere” model, consolidating operations into a 10,000m² hybrid workspace. We designed a flexible, collaborative environment with plug-and-play infrastructure, hot-desking, social hubs, and focus zones. Certified with BREEAM for sustainability, the space enhances engagement, efficiency, and seamless interaction, shaping the future of work.
Intrum Hellas — part of the Stockholm-headquartered Intrum Group — introduced a “Work from Anywhere” model that rendered its existing setup obsolete. The company occupied two buildings of traditional, cubicle-based offices that were no longer aligned with hybrid work patterns. The challenge was threefold: redefine the role of the office under the new model, consolidate two buildings into one to reduce real estate costs, and deliver a certified, sustainable workplace that employees would actively choose to use — all within a fixed six-month timeline.
The business had scale, but lacked a differentiated retail expression and a system that could support consistent growth across locations. The challenge was to redefine the brand experience and create a concept that could compete, connect, and scale.
STIRIXIS began with a pre-project business case analysis — assessing the current asset, its potential, renovation costs, permits, and timeline — before any physical change was made. The strategy defined new work model behaviours and space requirements first, then merged operations into a single 10,000m² HQ across seven floors. The design response organised the space by behaviour: open, semi-open, and private zones supporting different work modes; hot-desking and plug-and-play infrastructure for flexibility; social corners, collaborative hubs, and focus zones on every floor. Smart building automation, advanced video conferencing, and hybrid work infrastructure were integrated throughout. Sustainability was embedded by design — not retrofitted — achieving BREEAM “Very Good” certification. STIRIXIS managed end-to-end delivery including tendering, construction management, and parallel-floor execution to meet the fixed move-in date.
Two buildings consolidated into one. Real estate costs reduced by approximately 50%. Operating and maintenance costs lowered through smart automation, shared resources, and reduced utility load. BREEAM “Very Good” certification secured at design stage. Employee engagement and wellbeing confirmed as elevated by the client. Today, Intrum Hellas has redefined its workplace into a dynamic hybrid hub that reflects its values and empowers its people — delivered on time and on budget.

The Testimonial
“STIRIXIS Group was assigned by Intrum Hellas the challenging project of re-designing and delivering our offices, based on our new “Work from Anywhere” model and the current trends of Work Environments. The project included the consolidation of different offices into one building of approximately 10.000 sqm, the certification of our new office with BREEAM™, and the optimization of the ambience and functionality based on a new way of working. The project started early as a pre-project, business-case analysis, where STIRIXIS Group provided us in-depth with all the understanding needed to take the necessary decisions, by assessing the current asset, its potential, the cost of renovation, the permits required, and the timeline of the project. The project objectives were based on creating more than a perfect user experience, enhance well-being and ensure health and safety. After approving the pre-project phase, we proceeded with assigning the full project scope to STIRIXIS Group, including Architectural Design, Interior Design, Branding, Supervision and Construction Management for the delivery of the project. STIRIXIS Group worked closely and seamlessly with all teams, internal and external, they studied all details, optimized the project investment, delivered on time, and ensured the handover was fully functional. The project has been more than successful, it helped us transform our way of working, further communicate our values and culture, and increase engagement. STIRIXIS Group was truly supportive in all this journey, understood our needs, and optimized the business case, really working for our project’s success. We would therefore recommend STIRIXIS Group for their related services without hesitation.”
