Mauritius, and Bermuda.
The Brief
Skybound initially approached Conduit Interior to reconfigure and
refurbish a part of its existing office. However, as construction
on the project was about to commence, one of the neighbouring
tenants moved out and consequently a whole wing of the building
became available. Skybound made a decision to take on this
vacant wing of the building and expand its existing office space
into it. This opened up the opportunity for Conduit Interior to
re-imagine Skybound’s interior brand, while still respecting the
design of their existing offices so as not to make this wing look
like it belonged to a different company altogether. The design
was informed by existing materials such as dark wenge veneer,
but freshened up by interspersing this with a lot of white and
ensuring that natural light and access to views took top priority.
As an investment company that focuses on close, personal
relationships with its clients, Skybound Capital wanted an office
space that embodies an open-door ethos, encouraging clients
to pay a visit and enjoy the warmth and expertise that they have
to offer. A diverse palette of collaboration areas were required
for client-analyst interactions, as well as internal interactions,
encouraging employees of all levels to feed off each other’s
intellectual capital.
