British investment banking leader, Peel Hunt, relocated their offices to expand in an environment that was more conducive to growth. The workplace considers firm aspirations for the immediate and long-term future. To that end, HLW designed the new offices with a priority placed on flexibility. In addition, it was important to leadership to carefully consider the benefits of re-use, both for the sake of cost efficiency and to focus on sustainability.
HLW worked closely with the Peel Hunt team to develop a scheme that included enhanced, client-facing facilities with fine dining amenities and a new auditorium to increase the potential for attracting clients. The footprint also included ample space for a trading floor. The design captured a sense of the present and the future, celebrating new, modern, relevant British businesses.
