The Build
In terms of the ‘build’ element of Conduit’s design-and-build
offering, this wing was gutted by the outgoing tenant and handed
over to Conduit Interior as a “grey-box”. Namely it comprised a
bare concrete shell and perimeter windows only. Conduit managed
the installation of everything from the drywalling systems,
ceilings, electrical, aircon, lighting, network, fire systems, as well
as the joinery, finishings and furniture. Skybound were so happy
with the result that they decided to refresh the entirety of their
existing offices to bring them up to the standards that Conduit
created in the new wing. This was a multi-phased approach since
the client was in occupation and needed to maintain working
offices for the duration, tackling chunks of space at a time, often
in the evenings and over weekends to ensure no interruption to
Skybound’s operations.
The Design
The first port of call for a visitor is Skybound’s reception, where
they’re met by a quirky angular reception desk giving the first hint
of Skybound’s individuality in the marketplace. A bespoke lighting
feature floats above the waiting area softening the space to create
a warm welcoming pod for brief pauses and introductions.
Just beyond reception, the Bloomberg terminal provides the
analysts with ready access to fast-paced information, as well as
