Visual — heroOne mobile screen showing the app as an employee tool, not an intranet.
Past work
ODDO BHF — My Notebook
Flex office created more than a desk-booking problem.
ODDO was moving toward a more flexible way of working. The brief was about the employee experience in the office of tomorrow, but the problem quickly became bigger than booking a desk. Once teams are no longer in the same place every day, a lot of small operational questions appear: where colleagues are working, how to reserve a space, parking, equipment issues and where to find the right internal service.
(01) Research
An operating change, not just a new app
Research also highlighted an adoption problem. Not everyone wanted another modern tool, especially if it felt disconnected from the services they already knew.
So the concept built on Atrium and existing internal services, making them usable in a mobile context instead of creating a separate “future of work” layer.
What research showed
Some employees would avoid anything that felt too new.
Design principle
Extend the services people already use, instead of launching a new product.
- Home gathers what already existed: events, team, leave, desks and parking.
- Each module opens one familiar task, nothing more.
- Everyone chooses what their home screen shows.
The product brought recurring needs into one place: team presence, spaces, reservations, parking, issue reporting and a small set of employee actions. The aim was not to centralise everything, only to remove unnecessary tool-hunting from everyday work.
Modules
Each module goes deeper
Parking: reserve a specific spot
- Level map with free and taken spots.
- The chosen spot booked from the same screen.
Team: the whole week at a glance
- Calendar view of who is on site, remote or off.
- Leave requests handled in the same place.
This is an earlier project, so I keep the case short. Its value is the service thinking behind it: a real organisational change translated into a practical product layer.
