Previously located in Marylebone across three office floors, the management consultancy decided on an office relocation to an environment facilitating interaction and providing meeting and entertaining office space for both staff and clients.
Area Sq were appointed at the early stages of the project to help the client select a suitable building and conducted preliminary interviews with The Berkeley Partnership's consultants and partners to identify main requirements for the office workspace.
Amanda Godwin-Jones, Design Director at Area Sq says: "The buy-in from partners was amazing and this definitely helped us achieve the right design for them". Amanda adds "We created the layout of the two floors with the client's journey in mind: from when arriving at the open plan office reception, through to the third floor which accommodates the clients facilities including a plug and play area, a workshop area and contemporary lounge-club. The building also benefits from outside space for entertaining".
Flexibility was one of the key requirements from the client and to this end, Area Sq created an area where meeting rooms interlink with folding walls to create one large space if required.
Neil McClumpha, partner at The Berkeley Partnership says: "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!"
