This leading global insurance firm’s new London hub brings together five distinct business divisions within a cohesive 70,000-square-foot space, designed to meet the evolving demands of hybrid work. The office seamlessly integrates employees from multiple locations, prioritizing flexibility, collaboration, and a strong sense of brand identity. Through a strategic workplace approach, the environment balances private, secure areas with open, communal zones—supporting diverse work styles while fostering a connected and dynamic culture.

Sustainability and employee well-being were at the heart of the design, achieving Ska Silver accreditation through energy-efficient solutions and the thoughtful reuse of existing elements. Pre-existing ceilings were enhanced with timber accents, creating a warm and cohesive aesthetic, while a refinished staircase was repurposed as a defining architectural feature. These elements, combined with cutting-edge technology and a suite of amenities for both collaboration and relaxation, establish a workplace that not only reflects the firm’s heritage but also positions it for the future.
