Connects you to your work

The ILEX Blok helps you work better.

The Blok brings focus to your work by demarcating your work life and home life, freeing you from many distractions that are otherwise present when working in your home or the office.

ILEX Blok enables companies to provide their team with a corporate office environment that exceeds commercial office space standards6 in terms of air quality, temperature control, natural light levels and acoustic performance.

Respects the planet’s resources

The Blok has a very low impact on the natural environment.

It exceeds the most demanding commercial 2030 targets set by RIBA’s Climate Challenge for carbon footprint, operational energy, natural light levels and overheating. The choice of materials means the Blok is carbon negative, locking up more CO2 than is used to produce it. Careful thermal design removes the need for air conditioning and achieves low heating costs (est. £49/yr).

At ILEX, we are committed to serving people and planet in all we do. We have summarised our environmental, social and governance objectives here we trust you will be reassured that the Blok will fit with your organisation's ESG aims.
