We worked with the clothing and footwear brand Berghaus to transform their existing HQ and deliver a re-invigorated workspace that supports openness and improves communication between teams, enhances sustainability and showcases the brand’s technical product innovation, performance and heritage. The fit-out of the 2 storey building now offers a fabulous new entrance, light and spacious working zones and a range of flexible glazed meeting areas for staff and guests. Various sustainability measures include raising the EPC rating from E to C. The project is an exciting model for the retrofit of tired offices, demonstrating the quality of environment that can be delivered in a cost-effective way by enhancing the positive aspects of existing buildings, embodying brand meaningfully and incorporating an inventiveness that makes spaces work effectively and feel good to use. Award recognition includes the British Council for Offices (BCO); BCO Next Gen; FX Interior Design Awards and The Building Design Architect of the Year Awards.
