What we offered

“The approach to the interior fit-out was reflected the hi-tec digital technology e.g. The lines and circuits of a complete chip were echoed in carpets, finishes, reception desk details and lift shaft panels. Rich vibrant finishes were also used to attract and create an interior geared to young sophisticated individuals and forward thinking media business. This thinking was echoed in the hardware specification. Hard wearing finishes used with solid supporting components giving an overall sense of quality and design”
