Double-height Cat B reception space, which began by stripping all existing finishes and services to reimagine the entry experience.
The brief? Deliver 40,000 square feet of Cat A tenant space and a 5,000 square foot reception area in 32 weeks. And make it impressive, within a tight budget. We did what we always do – delivered above expectation, on time and on budget. By extensively redesigning M&E services and redistributing cost savings to upgrade front-of-house finishes, we made magic in 3 stages.
