in terms of creating a COVID-secure environment without adversely affecting the programme or budget from any reductions in manpower .
The decision to target a BREEAM
‘ Excellent ’ sustainability rating for the fitout was made after the commencement of the project , so we worked quickly to adapt the design and specifications of fabric and
mechanical and electrical elements to deliver the performance required . By drawing on advice from our in-house M & E experts and working in true partnership , the project team was able to deliver the changes required , all whilst keeping the project on programme and budget .
Delivering this project on the top floor of a Grade I Listed former warehouse building for a client with incredibly high standards during a global pandemic was a huge challenge .
Innovations in design came from the unique use of photographic portraits around the space in the form of impactful , full-height images laser-printed onto acoustic insulating canvases , which was related to the client ’ s sponsorship . The layout and flow of the space were based on the principles of navigating an art gallery , so while the space works functionally , users also have a ‘ journey of discovery ’ as they travel through the environment .
With varying work spaces , including formal desks , meeting booths , casual meeting areas and spaces for quiet work , the new office provides a flexible and agile working environment for the Taylor Wessing team , who can choose to work in the best way for them . In addition , break out areas have provided an environment which is much more conducive to collaboration and the flexible future of office working .
