Mount Street LLP previous accommodation was not offering the expansion potential required by the growing business. Staff within different departments of the business were working on separate floors, making cohesion and collaboration more difficult across the entire business.

Following an extensive property search – a fantastic new office space at 100 Wood Street was selected as the proposed new home for Mount Street. This Norman Foster designed building, offered everything that the business needed, a large open plan footprint, close to the existing office so travel routes for staff wouldn’t be impacted and fantastic views and access to natural light across the floorplate.

The design brief was to create a warm, welcoming environment with a nod to domestic softness that would be evident to all visitors and staff entering the space.

Mount Street as a business are going through a transformation of their own and moving forward were expecting greater client traffic into their offices. Our design team created a space which allowed for greater capacity and flexibility for hosting meetings – both internal and external. Instrumental to the new design, was a new front of house space for visitors, and separate zones for relaxation, collaboration, and breakout – facilitating Agile working for the staff.

Premium Scandinavian Ice Cream

Scope

  • Furniture

  • Audio Visual

  • HVAC

Premium Scandinavian ice cream accessories company, Nic Ice, is the number one choice for companies throughout the ice-cream industry with 4 offices in the UK. As a modern, agile business they wanted to transform their Barking office into a workspace that represents the brand’s modern outlook and approached Officescape to develop the solution.

The design brief was to produce a modern, bright and intelligently structured office to inspire staff and visitors, whilst keeping to a strict budget and 10-week renovation schedule.

The project, which spans two buildings and four floors, presented some interesting challenges, not least some failing infrastructure due to the age of the building, and the complexity of a fully-functioning factory section which shares services that had to remain uninterrupted.

The new office uses a mix of crisp white and black with blocks and dashes of primary colours, a mix of soft and hard furnishings, accents on select walls and plentiful natural light to transform the space into a bright, agile and easy-flowing space.

Large glass internal walls separate offices and meeting rooms without creating darkness; modern fittings and fixtures in the office and bathrooms draw on the company’s Scandinavian connection, and various breakaway areas, a smart new canteen and locker room round off the transformation

HQ refurbishment

  • M+E design and Installation inc HVAC

Our client, a Global FTSE 100 specialising in emission control technologies, needed assistance from the onset of their project – to completely refurbish their original HQ building. Following an extensive discover process the results combined as a complete D&B project involving extensive refurbishment works to the existing building fabric. This included re-roofing the building, strip out and new M&E systems throughout and replacement of circa 350 windows in the building. Several floors were then fitted out in phases – whilst the staff were re-located floor by floor and the building was kept fully functioning throughout the fitout to minimise disruption.

We have created a workplace strategy which has taken the culture, productivity and staff experience that work within this office to an incredible new level.

Officescape’s operations and sales office, situated north of Cambridge on the main commuter line into Kings Cross, required a full refurbishment programme due to headcount expansion, increased need for more focused space. Key to the project was creating a fully refurbished design studio that integrated seamlessly with our London team.

As thought leaders in Agile Working Environments, we already knew the Demographics and Profiling of our current team – and knew intimately what requirements needed to be factored into the new office space to achieve the best outcomes by adopting a Smart Approach to the design, investing into I.T. and creating the right balance of alternative spaces. Key was ensuring the AV equipment allow seamless communication between our Cambridge and London offices.

The new studio has brought the team closer together, increased productivity and collaboration whilst giving us breathing space to grow over the next 2-3 years. Our home now truly embodies the culture of the company, whilst giving our clients a unique insight into the way that we really do live out our Core values as an organisation.
