The project involves the refurbishment of the seven-storey, 83,000 sq ft office building, including extensive remodelling of the entrance, atrium and main reception area. There is also significant external works and hard landscaping to improve its appearance.
The client is Sampension KP International, one of Denmark’s largest pension management firms, which is developing the building speculatively.
Internal enhancements include the upgrade of the buildings mechanical and electrical services infrastructure and the replacement of lifts. Within the atrium, ISG will replace the existing stone flooring and re-clad the walls with a combination of high-gloss lacquered panels, fabric covered panels and wood veneer.
Improvements to the external appearance include the redesign of an existing brickwork fin element, which will be extended and reclad, with a backlit lighting system extending the full height of the enlarged fin. New cladding elements will also be introduced to two vertical columns that rise up through the atrium, which will also be illuminated. Landscaping enhancements include improvements to a lake within the grounds.
ISG divisional director Graeme White said: “This speculative development highlights the growing appeal of high-quality office locations within the M4 corridor, as organisations take advantage of excellent transportation links and reduced set up costs. As a business based within this key geographic region, ISG is a mature and highly experienced office specialist, with strong supply chain partnerships and a track record for successfully delivering a broad spectrum of projects from Cat A and Cat B fit outs, through to complex structural refurbishments.”
