Summary: | [...]the construction of the office has become an entrepreneurial exercise of a different sort. Models are clustered along the front window ledge, and glimpses offered to passers-by of internal activity, from staff circulating up and down the staircases that fill the triple-height entrance hall to discussions in the mezzanine meeting room or - just visible beyond the lobby meeting space - the highceilinged, ground-floor office. The dominant feature of the latter is a bespoke, hand-carved central desk - designed by co-director Simon Knox for stand-up or sit-down working for all 12 staff - stretching off to a small garden, where koi carp (brought from the pond at the old studio) swim in a rectangular pool sitting between the building's southern edge and a small courtyard. 350,000 Completion December 2017 Ground Works KK Contractors Fit-out Lioneye Properties Structural engineer Webb Yates Engineers Mechanical + electrical engineer SGA Consulting Tanking Wing Waterproofing Underfloor heating EcoHeatCool Enamel A J Wells & Sons Plastering Decor Bristol Plumbing BBS Plumbing and Heating Lighting Architectural Lighting Works; Dyke & Dean Exterior steel railings OA Steel Fabrication Gratings Elefant Gratings |
