Berenberg

In the wake of the pandemic Berenberg needed to provide colleagues with greater choice and flexibility of work settings. By expanding their London office with an additional 24,000 sqft Floor, teams from the 4th and 5th floors move to the 7th and provide Berenberg with one of the largest investment research floors in the city.

Completing our third major project together, we followed a process of workshops where we developed high level concepts into a detailed design scheme.

At the heart of the new floor is Berenberg's statement feature - The Hub. A multi-use space available to colleagues from all floors, The Hub is a hybrid breakout area with dining facilities, space for focus work, meetings and collaboration.

The Hub's variety of modular furniture items allows the space flexibility to adapt to the user needs and as such provides Berenberg with a stunning setting for the social and corporate events that they often host.

A clear objective in the brief was to introduce a variety of workplace settings, giving colleagues the choice to work from the area that best supports their task.

These settings included open plan hot desking, dedicated one and two person video conferencing rooms, collaboration zones and both formal and informal meeting spaces.

The installation of CAT-7 data cabling throughout the floor enables Berenberg to utilise state-of-the-art AV to stay ahead of their competition and connected to colleagues around the world.
