Refining an existing Cat A +

‍

When Amova chose to relocate to 36 Queen Street, the space already had a recently completed Cat A+ fit out. Our challenge was to adapt the existing workplace to suit their people and operational needs, while retaining the character, design features and finishes that had attracted them to the building in the first place.

‍

Brief

Having worked closely with us on the space planning and design of a previous workplace in the City, Amova came to 36 Queen Street with a clear brief in mind. Our role was to translate that brief into a workplace that met their requirements, making the most of the existing fit out by retaining and adapting as much as possible.

‍

Approach

Starting with what worked

The existing fit-out became the foundation rather than the obstacle. We assessed what could be retained, reused or repositioned. This included furniture, feature lighting, artwork and finishes, with considered changes made only where they would add real value.

‍

Adapting around the detail

Working within an existing layout demanded careful planning. We tested the space extensively before going on site, increasing capacity while integrating specialist power, data and AV requirements, and introducing the additional settings the team needed.

‍

Making the new feel at home

New features were designed to sit naturally alongside the existing scheme. A secure client suite created a clearer divide between front and back of house, while adapted flooring, touchdown settings, phone pods and subtle branding helped reshape how the workplace functions without losing its original character.

‍

Features

Specialist by design

A dedicated cluster of 14 trading desks integrates specialist power, data and AV within the wider workplace, accommodating a highly specific operational requirement without compromising the open-plan environment.

‍

A clearer client experience

The adapted layout creates a distinct client suite, separating reception, meeting spaces and the boardroom from the working office while making the most of the existing floor-to-ceiling glazing and acoustic treatments.

‍

More ways to work

Touchdown settings and phone pods add choice throughout the workplace, creating places for focused work, private calls and informal meetings within the existing footprint.

‍

Space to step away

Overlooking the courtyard, the enclosed tea point offered something worth preserving: a quieter place away from the main office where people can pause, connect and reset.

‍

Details

A warm, neutral palette already ran through the space, so there was no need to overwrite it. Existing furniture, feature lighting, artwork and finishes were retained and repositioned alongside new flooring, branding and carefully selected additions. Old and new now sit together naturally, creating a workplace that feels considered rather than completely recreated.
