The brief
Expanding recruitment company Blue Skies wanted an office interior that reinforced the vibrant and out-of-the-ordinary character of the company
How we met the challenge
With some quirky working practices and an individual company style Blue Skies weren't looking for a conventional office interior design. The refurbishment scheme was constrained a little by the typical CAT A landlords fit-out, but the overall office design still managed to achieve an office space that is memorable and practical.
A low ceiling encouraged the use of glazed partitioning to maximise the natural light in the office interior, whilst the strong colours and contemporary office furniture pieces created a striking style that has stood the test of time.
