272GA is a model for light touch, big impact office refurbishment. Working with a limited budget and rapid timescales, MWA were set the task of transforming a dated and tired office building into a desirable contemporary workspace. With a focus on wellness and sustainability, the design creates a series of additions and interventions that reflect contemporary work patterns. The creation of a shared atrium provides space for interaction and collaborative working; roof terraces combine extensive planting with out-door workspace; and a new changing block provides cycle storage, showers and changing facilities. The office floor finishes have been stripped back to express the structural steel - creating bright, open spaces rich in natural light. Common areas have been finished with bespoke joinery and a diverse palette of materials that create a distinctive aesthetic that is contemporary while also pragmatic and welcoming.
