We are proud to showcase both our projects for French-based firm Natixis CIB. Back in 2016 we created a forward-thinking workplace the then named Natixis Global Asset Management (NGAM). Our future-focused design was recognised by the British Council for Offices and we won Projects up to 2000m² London & South East in 2016. Natixis Groupe BPCE is a French-based asset management firm that ranks among the world’s largest asset managers. For its first UK stand-alone office, NGAM wanted a very strong design statement. The 16,500 sq ft of office space at 1 Carter Lane benefits from a spectacular view of St. Paul’s Cathedral, which also reflects on the façade of Carter Lane.
This was the main drive behind the concept we created for NGAM which is called “Reflections of St. Paul’s”. The space design was to combine the history and heritage of St. Paul’s with the agility, interaction and collaboration of a modern office. The office design is a true representation of the influence of location, and how interiors can adapt to different architecture to create defining spaces.
Our furniture choices were refined and fun, easy chairs in vintage checks are paired with bright and colourful ottomans. As the furniture pieces were well chosen and well made, we were then able to transport them to the next office location for Natixis in the UK; it is this fact that we are most proud of, as nothing can be more sustainable and cost effective than re-use.
