The Brief
When we met with Satnam Brar CEO and founder of Maximus he outlined his plans for relocating his team to premises within Linen Court a building situated within a vibrant area of London that is minutes away from Old Street, Liverpool Street and Moorgate Station. His requirement was for an innovative, contemporary high spec design that would reflect the company’s modern business approach and its standing within the industry.
The Vision
The client offices are located on the 10th floor of this modern building but natural light was severely compromised by adjacent high-rise buildings.
Our plan was to create a design solution that would take advantage of the buildings fabulous city views whilst delivering a light-filled functional workplace that would ultimately improve business productivity and give this young pioneering business the space to grow and prosper.
The Design
A workplace strategic review was undertaken that revealed team adjacencies, collaboration patterns, space utilisation and the use of meeting rooms. The data and information gathered enabled a design proposal that was both functional and aesthetically inspired.
In reconfiguring the layout stud walls were removed, partitions were reduced in height and glazed cellular offices installed. Removing and lowering the height of the internal walls allowed light to flow throughout the reception and client waiting areas.
The client’s corporate colours are reflected in the white walls, ceilings, and floor tiles offset with sleek blue transparent internal glazing, blue carpeting, walnut veneer finishes, soft leather furnishings and fun pops of bright green in the staff breakout area.
Our design solution gives the client a space that accommodates their immediate needs and is flexible to future expansion. The CEO was delighted with the delivery of this bright sophisticated workplace where natural light now streams throughout the space.
