Office Renovation in London.
An office renovation in London near Leicester Square has just completed for 10,000 sq ft of space. The office redesign and renovation works involved clearing the floor of staff and contents whilst the project was carried out, using other floors in the building as decant space for the 200 staff, as well as WFH. In all the scheme took 12 weeks on site including a major overhaul of HVAC to the server room.
The floor is used for HQ admin staff across 4 teams. The design brief was to update the look and feel, add more spaces for collaborative working, and to foster a greater sense of inclusion across the teams. Designer Stuart used matt blue and oak as the accents with a monochrome black/grey/white backdrop. The effect is an office interior that is modern, calm, but won’t date unduly. The choice of furniture was a balance between selection of feature elements, some cost-conscious selections to keep the budget under control, and some carry-overs that could be upcycled into the new design scheme. Desks are an example…the new desk tops sit on existing frames.
Hybrid Working Furniture
As with many central London offices this one has a hybrid approach. Staff can work from home, and when in the office can choose a desk, meeting space, breakout area and numerous supporting spaces from which to work. The office pods, booths with tables, and team tables have all proved popular. A ‘blue sky’ space also doubles as a presentation area. All the furniture was chosen to be as flexible as possible, easy to reconfigure, and adaptive, to help the design evolve over time. Details extended to putting all the storage cabinets on wheels for ease of movement. Likewise the office pods can be moved when needed.
A validation of the design scheme was very welcome. Staff think its the best floor in the 6 story building yet the cost per square foot for the renovation was over 15% less compared to a refit on another floor just 9 months earlier.
Office renovations can suffer from retained fittings and carry-over finishes. We think pictures of this office interior show how good design and sympathetic re-use of upcycled items have been incorporated into an effective refit. As the office renovation contractor Fusion carried out a unified service including all aspects of building regulation compliance, project management and cost control, as well as the design scheme and carrying out the office renovation works.
