Project Background and Objectives

Metrohm sought to modernise their office, which had not been updated in over a decade. The goal was to create an inspiring environment that would motivate the current team, attract new talent, and reflect their position in the medical technology sector. The project required a design that balanced functionality, modern aesthetics, and elements that highlighted their industry expertise.

Solutions and Approach

We delivered a comprehensive CAT B design, fit-out, and furniture installation to achieve Metrohm’s goals:

Welcoming Entrance: Designed a soft-seating area complemented by biophilic elements to create a warm and inviting first impression.
Modern Breakout Space: Developed a Costa-style coffee lounge with bench seating, bistro tables and chairs, and booths to encourage team collaboration and relaxation.
Biophilic Design: Incorporated plants and natural materials throughout the space to foster a calming and inspiring atmosphere.

Feature Lighting: Installed modern feature lighting to enhance the aesthetic appeal and improve functionality across the office.
Bespoke Design for Medical Technology Sector:Ensured the design reflected Metrohm’s position in the medical technology industry, aligning the office environment with their brand identity.

Challenges and Solutions

The primary challenge was transforming an outdated office into a dynamic and modern workspace within a short timeframe. This was addressed by:

Conducting detailed consultations to understand Metrohm’s vision and translate it into actionable designs.
Using smart, cost-effective design solutions to maximise the impact of the renovation within the existing space.
Incorporating biophilic elements and high-quality furniture to enhance the overall environment without exceeding the budget.
