Ascend to the 43rd floor of 8 Bishopsgate and you enter Bentley Systems, a workspace where Modusu0092 distinctive design meets Bentleyu0092s innovative spirit to embody sustainable sophistication. Here, environmental stewardship and cutting-edge functionality merge within the UK’s pinnacle of ecological architecture. Modus, a certified B Corp, has woven Bentley’s commitment to a sustainable future into the very fabric of this space, from energy-efficient lighting down to net carbon negative flooring.
At the heart of the new workspace is the experience studio, where a 7.3m curved LED screen and enveloping surround system celebrate Bentley’s forward-thinking ethos and aid a sense of fluidity and cohesion. This studio acts as a chameleon in the corporate habitat – by day, an energetic coffee bar; by night, it transforms into an elegant dining area for client dinners or company events. Within the heart of Bentley Systems, multifunctionality reigns supreme: meeting rooms alternate between collaborative hubs and sanctuaries of privacy, demonstrating a deep understanding of the diverse requirements of a dynamic workforce. The bar area stands as a central pivot to this design philosophy, equipped with folding walls that allow it to merge with the experience studio, transforming the space to suit large-scale gatherings.
