Corporate Insurance Company – Manchester

In order to facilitate the client’s working practices and accommodate its large team, our office interior designers suggested creating an open plan layout with additional office zones for specific departments. This entailed introducing a central workspace layout with shared desks for each team, several meeting rooms for collaboration and presentations, an office reception area, a staff private booth area for phone calls, and an informal broker area to sit and meet clients.

To create the corporate office design scheme with a modern-industrial edge, our design team chose to leave the ceiling trays and concrete ceiling exposed, making for an eye-catching urban office aesthetic. To supplement these features, we also left the concrete columns untouched, installed hanging LED lights, and implemented industrial-style black-panel glass for the meeting rooms and breakout areas.

As the client wanted the design to reflect its company branding, this influenced many of our designers’ creative decisions. For example, the clients’s grey and blue colour scheme is reflected in the flecked Herringbone carpet and office furniture, while its company logo is installed in the main office entrance area for staff and visitors to see.
