Brand Union took the lease on a building that had lain empty for 5 years with disconnected floors and a bland entrance. Our design for their new office involved reconfiguring floors by cutting the slab and introducing 3 new stair cases connecting the new ‘shopfront’ on the ground level whilst also providing a stair that doubled as presentation and breakout space. This also increased light penetration to the surrounding areas. By making these changes the lower ground floor has added 1,063 sq m to the space - previously unusable due to access restraints and lack of daylight.
We have created an environment that encourages mingling; fostering a culture where people work across teams and disciplines yet need to share creative solutions. Delivering Brand Union's desire to have a small agency feel but on a large scale and a celebration of what they do and who they are.
This project has won the British Council for Offices (BCO) Award for Fit Out of Workplace London and South East 2015.
