00 were appointed by Kinrise to complete the refurbishment of Citadel in Birmingham. 190 Corporation Street was historically the location of a Salvation Army Hall. Over time, various works (due to bomb damage as well as 80s extensions) carried out behind the retained original Victorian façade have created ever more intricate and confusing layouts, level changes and splits within the building around the original octagonal hall. We worked closely with Kinrise to create a layout that was intuitive to navigate and also encouraged knowledge sharing and mixing between tenants around the redesigned octagonal atrium. The atrium was designed to be a communal spill out space that allows a flexibility of tenant size offering opportunities for smaller companies to leverage knowledge and contacts from larger organisations. The base of the atrium was also redesigned as a modern version of the original Salvation Army meeting hall, providing a space for public events and meetings and extending the building’s networks into the community. This invitation to the community was also encouraged through a shared café/reception that mixes the wider community with the building’s community.
