IBI
Group

IBI Group is an international practice of Architects, urban planners and engineers. With an HQ already located in Canada, ThirdWay was appointed to deliver their new office space in London.  

The client requested a mature and contemporary take on an industrial style that would be designed with respect to the excellent refurbishment that was recently carried out on the building which left brickwork exposed, expose services and Crittal exterior windows.

One end of the floorplan was dedicated to an open-plan workspace, separated from the main communal breakout and client-facing area. A large amount of space was also turned into informal meeting booths and formal meeting rooms, sectioned off with black Crittall interior windows.

The communal kitchen area possesses a large breakfast bar with stools and hanging pendant lights above. The social communal area also ties into the contemporary-industrial style that the client desired with exposed brick walls and black finished furnishings.

Key features: L-shaped reception desk, meeting booths, Crittall windows, exposed brick, olive trees.
