We were tasked with an extraordinary refurbishment of Argyll's prestigious London Patent Office building, a historic landmark that required a sensitive and innovative approach to workspace design.
Argyll has maintained a significant presence in this iconic location since 2005, with their latest transformation aiming to elevate the building's architectural heritage while creating a contemporary, functional workspace. The project focused on preserving the building's historical character while introducing modern design elements that support contemporary professional needs.
Our design and renovation team implemented a comprehensive strategy to reimagine the space, creating a more sophisticated and efficient working environment. The approach carefully balanced historical preservation with cutting-edge design, introducing a spectacular glass-domed reading room, contemporary glass meeting suites, and elegant business lounges while maintaining the building's original galleried walkways.
The transformation delivered a remarkable reimagining of the workspace, seamlessly blending architectural heritage with modern workplace requirements. The project resulted in the creation of a distinguished professional environment that respects the building's historical significance while providing state-of-the-art facilities.
The project's exceptional approach to sustainable design and heritage preservation was recognized with the Property Week ESG Awards Commercial Retrofit of the Year 2024, highlighting its outstanding environmental and social impact.
The Argyll team expressed their satisfaction with the transformation, highlighting how the new space perfectly captures the delicate balance between historical preservation and contemporary workplace design.
By reimagining this historic workspace, we have helped Argyll create a dynamic environment that honors the building's legacy while providing a premium, innovative professional setting for modern business needs.
