MAWD have designed a progressive new office fit-out for Mondrian Investment Partners at 60 London Wall. The 38,000 sq/ft workspace, has been specifically designed with workplace comfort, wellbeing and hospitality-style amenities in mind, without compromising the cutting-edge connectivity and professionalism required.
We started with Mondrian’s team, understanding their needs as an organisation and their people’s priorities. We then looked to create a space that would captivate their team, one with real cross-generational appeal that prioritises conscious design through the use of innovative recycled materials.
The aesthetic moves from a monochromatic, industrial palette in the office areas to a more refined palette in the client suite and boardrooms, where the the interior design is inspired by mid-century style.
Social and collaborative spaces are balanced with quiet zones to allow for focused work, and breakout areas are designed with a hospitality influence. The design delivers the constant physical and virtual connection to clients required, but with a distinct hotel feel rather than that of a corporate office.
The result is a space that blurs the boundaries between commercial, residential and hospitality for a comfortable environment that invites collaboration, but which is flexible enough to also encourage individual working. Features such as the gathering fireplace and zoom booths helped us achieve this flexibility.
The gathering fireplace adds an unexpected element and creates a sense of belonging.
The new office has exceeded my highest expectations. It superbly balances design and practicality, space and light, capturing at once the feel of high-end hospitality whilst meeting the multi-various needs of employees.
'Conscious design’ is always central to MAWD’s approach, and recycled materials have been used innovatively throughout the space. The Autex acoustic panels in the zoom booths are made from recycled plastic bottles.
