Located on Blackfriars Road, the UBM headquarters is accommodated in the top nine floors of an eye-catching crystalline parallelogram structure that rises to 90 metres high to take its place on London’s skyline. The 11-month fit-out project has resulted in office space that combines beautiful design with clever functionality complemented by some delightfully quirky features – all with a top-quality finish.
"Reflecting UBM’s fluid mode of working, numerous flexible work settings encourage a culture of collaboration, creativity and agility with well-being and efficiencies at the heart of this LEED Platinum rated design," explains Gary Schofield, Senior Associate with Gensler. "Style’s ingenious moveable wall system offers staff excellent opportunities to use the space efficiently and productively."
"The glass partitioning walls allow the space to be entirely open-plan," explains Julian Sargent, Style’s group managing director. "For smaller meetings the area can be quickly sealed off by creating a corridor with the glass partitions, with the central automatic partition being activated to further divide the room."
Demand for fully automatic moveable walls is rapidly growing, as they not only simplify and speed up the process of dividing an area but, by removing all human intervention, operator error is minimised and the risk of damage through poor handling of the panels is removed.
Style is the exclusive UK partner to DORMA, Skyfold and SWG and eight times winner of the coveted FIS Contractors gold award – an annual honour presented for the best operable wall installation in the UK.
