The brief:
Johnson Matthey, a speciality British FTSE 100, chemicals company had been based in Hatton Garden since 1817. Their departments were spread over 1000 sq.ft. floor plates on 5 levels of a single building. Our client needed to bring all their teams together into a single open plan design.
A modern contemporary glass and steel building was found and agreed upon. Our commission was to provide a full turnkey solution, marrying their future aspirations with a keen eye on their traditions and heritage. The approach we termed 'transitional', a design that encompassed modern products and working practices but with traditional colours and finishes.
The scope of works included a fully operational catering kitchen, shower area, flexible boardroom, client / staff dining areas, a more corporate reception space, high density filing, hot desks and space for over 70 open plan workstations.
The project was completed over a 6 week project program.
