| | Office designer Area Sq
has completed The
Berkeley Partnership’s
new 8000 sq ft offices
at 48 Chancery Lane.
Previously located in
Marylebone across three
floors, the management
consultancy decided to
relocate to a space
facilitating interaction
and providing meeting
and entertaining space
for both staff and
clients.
Area Sq was appointed
at the early stages of
the project to help
Berkeley select a
suitable building and
conducted preliminary
interviews with the
firm’s consultants and
partners to identify the | |
|
| | main requirements for
the workspace.
Amanda Godwin-Jones,
design director at Area
Sq, said: “The buy-in
from partners was
amazing and this
definitely helped us
achieve the right design
for them. We created the
layout of the two floors
with the client’s
journey in mind: from
when they arrive at
reception which is open,
through to the third
floor which accommodates
the client facilities,
including a plug and
play area, a workshop
area and contemporary
lounge-club. The
building also benefits
from outside space for | |
| |
| | if needed.
Quirky features such
as a commissioned
artwork depicting the
company history and
photographs of Berkeley
life in the form of
wallpaper, as well as
colour changing
manifestations on the
glass work, introduce a
fun element and reflect
the company’s
personality.
The white backdrop is
complemented by accents
of red throughout,
including feature
lighting and joinery.
Ample storage areas
created by Area Sq
combined with a careful
selection of furniture | |
|
| | provided by Sketch, Area
Sq’s sister company, are
all essential to keeping
the overall minimalist
sophisticated feel.
Neil McClumpha, a
partner at The Berkeley
Partnership, said: “The
feedback has been
overwhelmingly positive.
It is such a stark
contrast to our last
offices which, until
this point, everyone
thought were fabulous
and would be a hard act
to follow. The layout
works really well, the
space flows, and it
seems strange to say
this, but it already
feels like home!” | |
