UPL needed a new European HQ that had an impressive front of house and luxury executive offices. So, a Mayfair location was a match made in workplace heaven. Detail and high quality were at the top of the agenda. So too was a neutral colour palette, punctuated with earthy tones and depths of colour – all of which played a big part in their vision being brought to life. Space and building constraints kept the team on their toes, however, this allowed them to create two key areas for both work and play
Upon entering the space, you’ll find on an elegant yet contemporary space offering a luxury client experience, to the right a sizeable and fully equipped breakout space with the added perk of a terrace for views of the city and al fresco lunching. On the left, is more of a focussed workspace, complete with high-tech settings with hot offices and fixed desking for all staff. The space is all centrally connected by the impressive front of house area, complete with an incredible focal reception desk crafted from liquid metal.
With sustainability at the heart of this companies’ values, this played a big part to the brief. After many showroom visits and a 360 interactive walk through of the space, the team introduced natural materials and finishes such as timber, concrete and leathers to reflect the brands’ ethos, ensuring that many of the selections were sustainable throughout.
Project completed with Thirdway, London.
