Spies
The holiday office
Details
The holiday office is a new workplace concept created for one of Denmark’s leading travel agencies, Spies. In fall 2024, they relocated their head office to Ørestad, Copenhagen. Spanning two nearly identical floors of 640 sqm each, the space features wooden floors, floor-to-ceiling glass façades, oak partitions and a metal ceiling.
The goal was to bring a holiday feel into the office - balancing functionality, comfort and style to support the employees in a welcoming and productive environment.
Hotel-inspired elements such as lounge areas, luggage rooms and door hangers manifests idea of the holiday office. A check-in area by the entrance replaced a glass wall and were equipped with a tech wall featuring an integrated screen, lighting and navigational aid for a welcoming arrival.
BAS ID was involved in all project stages, from concept development to space planning, lighting, furniture selection, tender documents and custom-built elements.

Inspired by sand, sun and shade, the design blends a natural color palette with tactile materials and tropical greenery, adding warmth to the building’s otherwise strict architecture. Curtains and rugs enhance acoustics while naturally defining spaces for collaboration and focus.

The office layout was thoughtfully designed to support a dynamic and modern work environment, offering a versatile mix of spaces tailored to various work styles and needs. The program included an open office area with both flexible and fixed seating, allowing employees to choose a workspace that best suits their tasks and preferences. Private office rooms, meeting rooms, focus rooms and a dedicated boardroom provided spaces for discussions and strategic decision-making.
