Area Sq carried out the fit-out of Infosys' 27,000 sq ft EMEA Headquarters at 10 Upper Bank Street in Canary Wharf.
With over 58,000 employees in over 35 offices worldwide, Infosys is one of the leading global IT and Consulting Service providers
Infosys wanted to create a contemporary and stylish environment that reflected their business culture and position as a market leader. Elegant and functional were adjectives used to describe their vision.
Upon entering their office, one can see how the brief was interpreted. The corporate feel is balanced by decidedly warm rich browns and splashes of colour, welcoming features like the wooden floor and walls and tactile materials such as leather. Another key design element is the clever use of lighting to create the desired mood.
A sophisticated reception area welcomes staff and guests alike, with an adjoining waiting room for VIP guests and an impressive Video Conferencing and Training Suite comprising the latest technology. The restaurant, which benefits from stunning views of the London skyline and a pool area, has been designed around vibrant colours to contrast with the white furniture.
"Although the aesthetic features were important to us, the functional aspect was essential too. Not only did Area Sq successfully translate our vision into reality, but their desire to deliver over and above our expectations meant the project was a complete success. We rewarded them with an Infosys Recognition Award and Area Sq were appointed to complete the second phase of the project" says Sudhir Chaturvedi, Head of Sales, UK.
